> Terraform was a huge breath of fresh air after Cloudformation. Humans shouldn't write CloudFormation templates. If you're doing that here is a important free clue: use CDK. One advantage of CDK over Terraform is that the 'state' is the CloudFormation stacks themselves as opposed to Terraform's state system. Another is that you get a real programming language (your choice of several) using CDK. The disadvantage of CDK is that it's AWS only.
