Terraform
This project is deployed using terraform. However, running terraform apply is not required to deploy to production. This is because the terraform sets up a pipeline in Vercel
that automatically builds and deploys the latest commit in the main branch to production. The git_repository property in the vercel_project resource block suggests this;
instead of using the local git repository, the resource expects a cloud-based git repository to deploy from. Nevertheless, there are some situations in which you should run
terraform apply:
- updating DNS records in cloudflare
- changing which branch to deploy from
- changing the domain
Secrets
The easiest way to pass in API tokens is to use a secret.tfvars file and pass it into terraform commands with --var-file="secret.tfvars". For example,
vercel_api_token = "asdf"
cloudflare_api_token = "asdf"
