Hello,
We have this huge project, creating our projects in Openstack and many other things arround. Lately we faced a first issue: the size of our tfstate grew as we add other features until the compressed size was more than the Consul’s default 512Ko limit for the k/v entries.
We raised the limit to 1024, and everything ran fine for a while. Now we face another issue: " Error: Error releasing the state lock Error message: consul lock was lost
"
I will probably ask in the Consul section, but I specifically want to know from Terraform developpers/users if raising a new limit is the way to go. Our poor tfstate once extracted is 11Mb large, which is a lot for a json file.
Can we safely try to look for a workaround in Consul’s forum or should we reshape (again) our code to use multiple state, or use another backend ?
Regards
Jerome
