How Terraform Helps Us Catch Bad Guys at Sea

At Windward we use several data sources and a complex infrastructure of several types of databases to provide information to different stakeholders in the maritime industry. In simpler words, we use technology to catch pirates, bad guys, and smugglers. But this complex infrastructure is serving a lot of developers, data scientists, and data analysts. In this talk we’ll cover how Terraform helps us create and maintain a mission-critical production environment used by key customers and government agencies, how it creates and manages GPU environments for model training that stays cost optimized, and several other use cases that make our product what it is — and that we wouldn’t be able to do without Terraform.
