• Project scaffolding and best practices: Templates for main.tf, variables, outputs, backend configuration, and modular directories to enforce reusability.
• State and CI/CD workflows: Advice for remote state backends, state locking, plan/apply workflows, GitHub Actions integration, and safe promotion between dev/staging/prod.
• Secrets and security: Patterns for Secret Manager integration, deletion protection, resource tagging, and avoiding committing sensitive files.
• Use case example: Deploy a GCP Cloud Run service backed by Cloud SQL with secrets stored in Secret Manager and managed via Terraform modules and CI.
