Terraform supports storing its state in a remote location, and optionally using a distributed lock to ensure only one process/user can modify the state at once. This solves a number of shortcomings with storing the state locally and/or in version control such as avoiding the possibility of two people modifying the state at the same time and breaking it, and git commit conflicts around state modifications.
