Run OpenClaw agents for Terraform infra and GitOps from Telegram
Several OpenClaw agents with separate identities set up Terraform infrastructure, did coding work, code reviews, merges and built a CD and GitOps system.
Done withOpenClaw
- What they did
- The poster ran multiple OpenClaw agents, each with its own Google Workspace email, Git account, and EC2 instance. The agents could assume AWS roles in a development account and used Redis pub/sub they set up themselves to coordinate work across Terraform repos, coding tasks, reviews, merges, and building a CD/GitOps system, while the human mainly assigned big tasks over Telegram.
- How it went
- They say the setup delivered overnight, with large projects completed and operational by morning, effectively acting like a team of “10x engineers.” It broke down after they switched models from Claude to openai-codex/gpt-5.4, which they say stopped reliably finishing the work.
- Worth knowing
- The key catch was model cost and reliability: Anthropic Max became too expensive for their OpenClaw use, and the cheaper replacement reportedly could not complete complex multi-step jobs.
Try it yourself with OpenClaw
Set up separate agents on my [Telegram or chat app] for [infrastructure setup, code review, and deployment]. Using my [GitHub repo], have the infra agent write Terraform for [cloud provider and resources], have the review agent comment on pull requests, and have the deploy agent run a GitOps pipeline for [environment]. Finished means a working pipeline from merged PR to deployed change. Pause and show me the plan before applying any Terraform, merging, or deleting anything.
