Thanks for sharing! What would be the main difference between Digger and TF cloud, besides the open-source?

Great Q - Digger runs within your existing CI/CD system (eg GitHub Actions), and doesn't require you to duplicate compute for Terraform Deployment. Because of this reason you end up saving on paying twice for compute.

Another reason to use Digger over TFC is that Digger Cloud is priced per user, but TFC is priced per resource under management, which becomes extremely expensive at scale.
