How about evolving CloudFormation and CDK instead of trashing it and starting over.
The CF web interface does not do a great job of showing the hierarchy and relationships between resources.
And working around circular dependency issues in CDK can be a real time sink.
- chuckadams 2y ago> The CF web interface does not do a great job At anything. To say nothing of the godawful expression language in yaml, so CF is bad UX at pretty much every level. Even ops, the thing it’s made for, is excruciating: I just want to see deployment progress per-resource so I can see what’s stuck, and maybe in some distant joyous future, why.
- JustinGarrison 2y agoAny amount of evolving would require a lot of breaking changes to rearchitect and not be bogged down by keeping compatibility. I think they should make a v2 and sunset v1 and not keep any old compatibility.
- klodolph 2y agoThere are a lot of pitfalls in CF. A lot of lessons you have to learn the hard way.
