Terraform is actually kind of a nightmare. It's deceptively simple yet requires a massive amount of real world expertise to use it properly. It's a configuration management tools, but more difficult to use and extend. I'm thinking of designing a series of tools to replace Terraform. The idea would be to break down how modern cloud environments are managed into a couple concepts, and then make a variety of tools that work within those concepts together, so that it's easy to expand and modify the way you use them for your use case. This would enable things like tailoring the use of the tools to a particular deployment strategy, or adding custom business logic, or replacing individual functionality, without being tied to one tool, language, etc.
