The Path to IaC Independence: How Talkdesk Runs Enterprise-Grade OpenTofu
March 25, 2025 | 08:00 AM PDT (UTC-7)
Join us for a Complimentary Live Webinar Sponsored by Spacelift
OpenTofu—the community-driven Infrastructure as Code (IaC) project—has rapidly gained attention as a promising new path. Yet, questions persist: How seamless is the migration? What about long-term support and stability? How can I co-manage existing tools like Terraform?
In this webinar, you’ll hear firsthand from Talkdesk, a global leader in customer experience solutions, as they share their journey to adopting OpenTofu—now managing 4,000+ OpenTofu stacks in production. Introduced by James Humphries, Engineering Team Lead at Spacelift and Founding Core Developer at OpenTofu, the Talkdesk team—Marcelo Almeida, Principal Platform Engineer and Luis Almeida, VP Technology—will cover how Talkdesk:
- Pivoted to OpenTofu to ensure scalability and autonomy in their infrastructure
- Manage Terraform and OpenTofu side-by-side—retaining familiar workflows and gradually embracing open source optionality
- Develop consistent guardrails for deployments to standardize infrastructure management at scale
- Partnered with Spacelift to enable centralized policy enforcement, automation, and management of both OpenTofu and Terraform environments
Join us to see how Talkdesk is modernizing its approach to IaC and how to think about your organizational shift from Terraform to community-driven IaC with OpenTofu.
