   Thank you for these points! I respectfully disagree :) A raw Terraform module is quite hard to reuse out-of-context for someone who isn't familiar with devops / sysadmin concepts. What's a VPC? Security group? ACL? Each servi

   Not really - we are an _optional_ abstraction layer for infra-as-code. Terraform isn't really abstracting away infrastructure, it's a one-to-one mapping of every resource. A bit like assembly langugage. We are a compiler of higher

    Hi HN! Igor here, co-founder of Digger.dev The learning curve for AWS is steep; but the use of tools with great develeoper experience like Heroku and Vercel is limited to small projects. Teams end up choosing AWS or other big cloud provider
