Just this week, I wrote a Terraform module that uses the GCP, Kubernetes, and Cloudflare providers to allow us to bring up a single business-need (that will be needed, hopefully, many times in the future) that spans those three layers of the stack. 200 lines of Terraform written in an afternoon replaced a janky 2,000 line over-engineered Python microservice (including much retry and failure-handling logic that Terraform gives you for free) whose original author (not DevOps) moved on to better pastures.
CDK is fine if you're all-in on AWS. It has its tradeoffs compared to Terraform. Pick the right tool for the job.
