Works with your existing Terraform/OpenTofu

Terraform & OpenTofu without the
state file bottleneck

Stategraph replaces the flat state file with a database-backed graph. Independent changes can run in parallel, and the state becomes queryable and auditable. No code changes.

Under the hood: API and database

Stategraph has two parts: a CLI that provides the same interface as Terraform, and a backend that fundamentally reimagines how state is stored and processed—as a dependency graph in PostgreSQL, not a flat file. The CLI doesn't orchestrate Terraform; it executes graph-aware operations directly against the database.

Why Terraform & OpenTofu need a new backend

FILE
State is stored as a monolithic JSON file. Every plan loads the entire file. Result: slow plans at scale.
LOCK
Global lock blocks all teams. Even those working on unrelated resources. Result: teams queue behind each other.
BLIND
State is opaque binary data. No queries. No insights. No audit trail. Result: Debugging via CI logs.
SERIAL
Resources execute one at a time. Even when operating on completely separate parts of the tree. Result: Wasted time waiting for unrelated changes.

Two ways to deploy Stategraph

Use Stategraph as a Terraform backend for inventory and queries, or add the CLI for faster plans.

5-minute setup

Terraform Backend

Point your Terraform/OpenTofu backend configuration at Stategraph. No CLI installation needed.

What you get:
  • ✓ Infrastructure inventory & CMDB
  • ✓ SQL-queryable state
  • ✓ Resource change history
Full power

Backend + CLI

Install the Stategraph CLI for drop-in Terraform/OpenTofu replacement with performance enhancements.

All backend features, plus:
  • ✓ Subgraph-based execution
  • ✓ Parallel team operations
  • ✓ Incremental resource refresh
