Managing a Terragrunt dependency graph across 500+ modules without hitting circular dependencies or version drift is one of the hardest scaling problems in platform engineering.

You'll learn:

  • How to map and audit a large Terragrunt dependency graph using terragrunt graph-dependencies and DAG visualisation tools
  • Patterns for structuring module hierarchies to prevent circular dependencies before they reach CI
  • Enforcing module versioning with OCI registries — why OCI beats Git tags at this scale
  • How to segment a 500+ module monorepo into dependency tiers so targeted runs stay fast
  • Common failure modes: implicit dependencies, missing mock_outputs, and run-all ordering bugs

Keywords: Terragrunt dependency graph, Terragrunt at scale, OCI module registry, circular dependencies Terraform, platform engineering IaC
