I’m guessing they also purposely broke the back button on mobile browsers so people get fed up and install their app. It’s unfathomable how they got that wrong.

Support for multiple stacks in a single file was added to cdktf recently. I’ve been managing dozens of production stacks in a single repo for a while now and highly recommended it.

Damn... I was planning to build a deck this summer and was optimistically hoping/assuming composite prices didn’t go up too. Thanks for sharing this.

What a waste of talent... these kids know how to program, but instead of working on useful projects they’re wasting everyone’s time. It’s really troubling that any professor would have proposed or OK’d this.

Indeed... technically you don't have to use the cdktf CLI. For instance, I typically run "python main.py" to synthesize from Python to Terraform. From an end-user perspective, once you have your cdktf environment setup you d

The article vaguely describes the build system being compromised. Have any details been published to indicate what build systems they were running and what the exploits were there?

CloudFormation is really slow and lags behind in supporting all AWS features. Terraform is super fast, has great docs and vast coverage for managing just about any type of cloud resource.

My first project was trying to deploy a Redshift cluster. It flat out didn’t work. Did 2-3 calls with their tech sales before giving up on it. And then cdktf came out shortly after that.

> Can you inspect inputs from terraform resource attributes or data sources in the procedural evaluation? No... the high level programming language really just serves as a bridge or translation layer to a Terraform compatible JSON file.

I tried Pulumi with Python and kept running into show stopper bugs.

On a related note, CDK for Terraform allows DevOps practitioners to use a variety of programming languages instead of HCL. I've really enjoyed modeling my AWS environments with Python using Terraform only as the engine. More info here:

I really, really, really enjoyed working with intercooler.js on a previous project... I understand there’s no immediate need to upgrade, but what new features does this provide for new projects? By the way, thanks!
