Nope, Terraform is way faster. Anyone who has switched between them on the same project can attest to this. Also, Terraform does not get into “UPGRADE_ROLLBACK_FAILED”-style unrecoverable states nearly as easily. This happens to me all the time with Cloudformation/CDK. So my second question after “Why is Cloudformation so slow?” would be “Why is Cloudformation more error-prone when it’s also slower?”
