ChatBotKit Terraform Provider
We're excited to announce the ChatBotKit Terraform Provider, now available on the Terraform Registry. This enables developers and DevOps teams to manage their ChatBotKit AI infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code.
Why Infrastructure-as-Code for AI?
Infrastructure-as-code has transformed how teams manage cloud resources through repeatable deployments, consistent environments, and version control. Now ChatBotKit brings these capabilities to conversational AI.
With the Terraform Provider, your ChatBotKit configuration becomes declarative code that can be version controlled, reviewed through pull requests, and deployed via CI/CD pipelines. This transforms AI agent management from manual operations into reproducible, auditable infrastructure.
Comprehensive Resource Management
The provider offers complete coverage of platform resources:
Core Resources:
- Bots - Define AI agents with models, instructions, and behaviors
- Datasets - Manage knowledge bases for retrieval-augmented generation
- Skillsets & Abilities - Configure custom capabilities and actions
- Integrations - Connect to Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, and 30+ platforms
Data Sources: Query existing resources to build dynamic infrastructure that adapts to your setup.
Lifecycle Management: The provider handles creation, updates, and deletion. Terraform's plan and apply workflow ensures changes behave as expected.
Real-World Applications
Multi-Environment Deployments
Maintain separate dev, staging, and production environments with identical configurations:
Team Collaboration
Changes go through pull requests where teammates can review modifications and ensure quality before deployment.
Automated Testing
Integrate into CI/CD pipelines to validate configurations and catch errors before production.
Disaster Recovery
Your infrastructure code serves as an executable backup. Simply re-run terraform apply to restore your complete configuration.
Compliance & Auditing
Every change is tracked through version control, providing complete audit trails.
