Sure, you can hide all configuration behind some abstraction, but that doesn't really change the fact that the configuration is still there. The moment you need to do something even slightly different than out-of-the-box, you're hosed. Additionally - IAC can work as documentation.

The Nitric providers which handle the provisioning piece are IaC. Rather than poking around bespoke IaC on a per-project basis, you have the opportunity to inspect modularized and tested IaC which in this case is written in Pulumi and maintained by either the Nitric team or your team if you need to customize and move away from "out-of-box". I work with the maintaining team, we're happy to discuss more. If you're curious then hop into our discord.
