Since 2021, HashiCorp has limited free tiers, swapped licenses, rebranded the platform and as of March 2026, axed the free tier entirely. Each move made business sense. Each one left teams who built their workflows on TFE with the same uncomfortable choice: pay up or rebuild 😅.

Terrapod makes that choice irrelevant.

It’s a drop-in replacement for Terraform Enterprise - workspaces, remote state, VCS integration, agent pools, private module registry, RBAC, audit logging, notifications and all the stuff. The full TFE V2 API surface, Kubernetes-native, deployable via Helm. Point your existing cloud blocks at it and keep moving 🚚.

What matters operationally: it’s OpenTofu-first. The execution backend is pluggable, but OpenTofu is the recommended default. No license tracking, no per-seat cost, no vendor trajectory to monitor.

If security compliance, open-source alignment or HashiCorp licensing uncertainty is on your radar - this is the next thing to evaluate:
