Building a Terraform Module Scaffold with structkit

Target: dev.to, /r/devops, /r/Terraform | SEO: terraform module template generator, infrastructure as code scaffolding

TL;DR

If you maintain multiple Terraform modules, you know the pain: every new module starts with copy-pasting the same main.tf , variables.tf , outputs.tf , and .github/ setup. structkit lets you define that structure once in YAML and generate it consistently across your team.

The Problem: Terraform Module Sprawl

As your infrastructure grows, so does your module library. Two things are always true:

New modules start with copy-paste — someone grabs an old module and strips it down

Consistency degrades over time — modules end up with different structures, naming conventions, CI configurations

This causes real pain:

Onboarding engineers spend hours understanding why Module A has a providers.tf but Module B does not

Security reviews find inconsistent IAM patterns across modules

CI pipelines fail because some modules have terratest ,…
