Answer

We have a module that we call hundreds of times to build instances of a thing. Ideally, we want each instance to have its own state file because each one of these instances can have n resources. [r:terragrunt](https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terragrunt)

Hm, I don't think I quite understand how this is working just yet. Would it be possible for you to share some basic examples of how your current structure is working with the config files you referenced?
