I'm seriously considering switching to pulumi, mostly because it seems a lot more flexible. Not to mention that developers are already familiar with the language rather than having to learn all the quirks and inconsistencies of hcl on top of using the tool itself
- nerdbaggy 6y agoYup that is why we use it. And it’s great since anything can be a data source
- chucky_z 6y agotry out https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-cdk https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-cdk i've had success with it thus far. i'm mostly using mainstream providers at this point though.
- macca321 6y agoIn a polyglot shop, it can actually be quite handy that HCL is it's own relatively simple language.
- thayne 6y agoFrom my ~1 year of experience with terraform, the simplicity of HCL leads to some pretty complicated config. In particular the absence of a true if, and the inability to define custom functions, or use any kind of condition or iteration on modules.
