While working with terraform lambda modules, I had a hard time finding out the best repository architecture to automate my lambdas deployment. I couldn’t find any article that I could use as a guideline, that’s why I’m writing this article.
While working on big projects, project organization is a must-have. In this story, you will be presented to one way to organize your repositories so that it facilitates the deployment procedure, making it much more scalable.
