> Terraform is for specifying deterministic, idempotent results given a set of conditions and inputs. No. Terraform is for manipulating state on the other side of an API, including orchestrating the state behind multiple different APIs such that those APIs will be "harmonious" for your use case. > Music apps like Spotify and Apple Music are about whimsical, serendipitous discovery independent of rational thought. At least, for me, anyway. The two are wholly incompatible. I beg to differ. If something changes, Terraform makes those changes visible to you, because it keeps notes on what it thought the state was on the other side of the API. For the right use case, being notified of those changes, and possibly deciding to do something else instead, is important.
