How can I separete environments (dev, prod, staging) in AWS using terraform?

I am using workspaces to separate environments in AWS like that:

terraform init
terraform workspace new dev
terraform workspace select dev
terraform validate --var-file $(terraform workspace show).tfvars
terraform apply --var-file $(terraform workspace show).tfvars

The command $(terraform workspace show).tfvars is used to select as --var-file the file with the same name as the workspace, in this case, dev.tfvars will be used.

There are a better option?

In my team, we decided to follow the per-folder environment pattern, similar to what is recommended by Terragrunt https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terragrunt-infrastructure-live-example
