Very much agree. I have built infra on ECS with terraform at two companies now, and we have zero manual steps for actions like this, beyond “add the env var to a terraform file, merge it and let CI deploy”. The majority of config changes we would make are that process.

Yeah.... thinking about it a bit more i just don't see why they didn't set up their CI to deploy a short lived environment on a push to a feature branch.

To me that seems like the simpler solution.
