I thought terragrunt was a must have for that kind of deployment.

I'm curious about that as well. I was told by coworkers that Hashicorp added support for DynamoDB which rendered terragrunt redundant but I haven't had time to look into it.
terraform {

  backend "s3" {

    region = "us-west-1"

    bucket = "foo-tf-us-west-1"

    key = "foobar.tfstate"

    dynamodb_table = "tf-lock"

  }
}

Awesome! Any idea when this was added? I feel like this wasn't in the documentation a week or two ago; everything had still said "Use Hashicorp Atlas for remote state locking".
I've been using it for weeks if not months.

Their documentation might be lagging occasionally. It's a small team tackling a big challenge.
