No reason to use Terraform when Pulumi exists.


I am about to start deploying with Terraform. Taking the big step.

Why should I use Pulumi over Terraform? (Genuinely wondering)


People ask that question all the time, and I don't get why. I hate HCL, I hate the verboseness, the limited capacity for abstraction, that its yet another proprietary format, everything reminds me of ANT.

I want infrastructure as code, not infra-as-yaml. I want types checked by the compiler, as is good and proper. Apparently many people don't feel that way though?

To me, Pulumi is a godsend.
