Production review

Risks this template calls out

1

Noisy tenants can overload shared resources unless limits, query timeouts, and quotas are designed early.

2

Billing and subscription webhooks need idempotency to avoid duplicate plan changes or missed entitlement updates.

3

Secrets, IAM, backups, and monitoring need review before treating generated Terraform as production-ready.
