I’ll be the first to agree that CDK sucks, but Pulumi is essentially Terraform as a programming language, with all the niceties of terraform and more besides.
The format that defines what infra looks like is… very hard to parse with terraform (for me). It seems optimized for defining a list of static resources, and everything else is bolted on. The for_each or count constructs do not make intuitive sense to me anyway.
That said, by all means, use Terraform, as long as it’s not CDK I’ll be happy.
