Production Push: 70 Phases, Cloud Deploy, and the Docker Build Gauntlet

The previous three days built the product. December 18th was about making it run somewhere that isn’t my laptop.

Thirty-two commits spanning phases 32 through 70. The work falls into three buckets: infrastructure-as-code, cloud deployment, and the surprisingly painful process of getting Docker builds to actually work.

OpenTofu Migration

git-with-intent’s infrastructure was defined in Terraform. On December 18th it moved to OpenTofu.

The migration itself was uneventful. OpenTofu is a fork of Terraform with compatible syntax. Replace terraform with tofu in your commands, update the CI workflow, done. The state file format is identical. No resource recreation needed.
