…g post New Tier-1 blog post targeting 'terraform cloud alternative' at the control-plane/platform layer (HCP Terraform, Spacelift, env0, Scalr), distinct from the existing best-terraform-alternatives post which covers engine-level alternatives (OpenTofu, CDK, Crossplane, Bicep). - Answer-first opening, comparison table, fairness section covering Spacelift/env0/Scalr/self-managed OpenTofu, and an honest section on when HCP Terraform remains the right choice - faq_schema: true with clean heading discipline (statement-form H2s, question-form H3s only under Frequently asked questions) - Verified customer proof points only (BMW 20K resources, Wiz 1M+ resources, Supabase 80K resources/16 regions, Starburst 112x faster deploys with named quote, Atlassian 50% less maintenance, Imagine Learning) -- no unverifiable figures - Deliberately avoids attacking HCP Terraform on price: HCP Essentials RUM pricing is materially cheaper per-resource than Pulumi Cloud's on-demand rate, so the post compares pricing models neutrally instead of asserting Pulumi is cheaper - Reciprocal internal links added from best-terraform-alternatives and docs/iac/comparisons/terraform-cloud

Summary
Adds a new Tier-1 SEO/AEO blog post targeting the "best Terraform Cloud alternative" query space at the control-plane/platform layer — HCP Terraform (formerly Terraform Cloud), Spacelift, env0, and Scalr — which is currently an uncovered gap. This is deliberately distinct from the existing
/blog/best-terraform-alternatives/post, which covers engine-level alternatives (OpenTofu, CDK, Crossplane, Bicep). The post cross-links both ways to avoid keyword cannibalization and make the distinction explicit for readers and search/LLM crawlers alike.Why a new blog post instead of editing the existing docs comparison page
content/docs/iac/comparisons/terraform-cloud.mdalready exists and covers the head-term "Pulumi vs Terraform Cloud" comparison well. The gap is a long-tail, evaluative "alternative" post in the blog section, matching how buyers actually search and how LLMs cite roundup-style content. I added light reciprocal links between the two so authority flows both directions.Key content decisions (and why)
$0.0001359/resource/hour, ~$97.85/month worked example for 1,000 resources) against Pulumi Cloud's on-demand Team rate ($0.0005/resource/hour). Pulumi's on-demand per-resource rate is materially higher, not lower. Rather than make an easily-fact-checked-and-refuted cost claim, the post describes both pricing models neutrally (RUM metering vs. bundled credits with overage) and tells evaluators to model their own resource counts.Schema / AEO mechanics
