history
Project history and usage
tf-profile is a Go command-line profiler for Terraform runs. It reads Terraform logs from standard input or files and summarizes resource-level timing, aggregate run statistics, filters, and Gantt-like visualizations.
Project history
The public repository began in March 2023 with commits for stdin reading, Terraform log parsing, and tabular output. The README describes a Cobra-based CLI that can generate global stats, resource-level stats, filters, and visualizations.
The project reached v0.5.0 in October 2024. Its README now warns that it is no longer actively developed and that no new features or support for newer Terraform versions are intended.
Adoption history
The README lists Homebrew, binary releases, Docker, and source builds as installation paths, and says the project was featured on awesome-go and awesome-terraform. That places it in the small-tool Terraform ecosystem where engineers install focused CLIs around the core `terraform` binary.
How it is used
The intended workflow is to pipe `terraform apply` output to `tf-profile` or save logs and analyze them later. Users can ask for high-level stats, per-resource tables, filtered logs, or a gnuplot script for a run visualization.
Why package nerds care
For package nerds, tf-profile is a single-purpose Terraform companion CLI: useful when installed through Homebrew or Docker, but also a cautionary package because the upstream README explicitly marks active development as ended.
