What are the ways to handle the terraform state if multiple people are working on the infrastructure?

Terraform manages the state via lineage and serial id of the state file. It's quite easy to handle state with backend configuration HCL for different environments natively within Terraform!

The safe way is using a backend with lock support. But the important part is try to move the ex*****on from local workstations to a central place, using products such as GitHub Actions, Terraform Cloud, or Atlantis.

Terraform plan/apply ex*****ons should be triggered on repository changes. The classic way is to trigger the plan on Pull Requests and then apply on merges to the main branch. Working locally is ok only in certain cases, but when collaboration is needed the risk of drift increases!

Enhancing customer safety by leveraging the scalable, secure, and cost-optimized Toyota Connected Data Lake

Some of the connected services help drivers to safely enjoy their cars. Telemetry data is available from the car 24×7, and Toyota makes the data available to its dealers (when their customers opt-in for data sharing). For instance, a vehicle’s auxiliary battery voltage declines over time. With this data, dealership staff can proactively contact customers to recommend a charge prior to experiencing any issues. This automotive telemetry can also help fleet management companies monitor vehicle diagnostics, perform preventive maintenance and help avoid breakdowns.
