I think Upbound’s Crossplane is the best positioned here. It’s an easy migration path and far more sane way to manage state.

- swyx 3y agocould you say more about what hashicorp products Crossplane compares to/or doesnt?
- reilly3000 3y agoSure, Crossplane leverages the K8s control plane for managing desired state for systems outside of the kubernetes cluster. It functions in a very similar fashion to terraform but it’s storing its own state in etcd instead of another state store. That makes GitOps + Crossplane play really nicely together and avoid the extra complexity that happens with terraform apply operations. They have a terraform wrapper provider for importing existing config and state. It’s really nice to have infra and apps flow through the same pipes.
- swyx 3y agooh wow, wonderfully explained. it feels like crossplane might be a terraform killer then, assuming k8s has won, which it seems to have.
