# Small-size infrastructure with Terraform

Source: <https://github.com/antonbabenko/terraform-best-practices/tree/master/examples/small-terraform>

This example contains code as an example of structuring Terraform configurations for a small-size infrastructure, where no external dependencies are used.

{% hint style="success" %}

* Perfect to get started and refactor as you go
* Perfect for small resource modules
* Good for small and linear infrastructure modules (eg, [terraform-aws-atlantis](https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-atlantis))
* Good for a small number of resources (fewer than 20-30)
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Single state file for all resources can make the process of working with Terraform slow if the number of resources is growing (consider using an argument `-target` to limit the number of resources)
