Pulumi is really a royal piece of shit. Why the f*ck am I writing code to do "deployment". In C# --> new Dictionary<string, object> when dealing with a values.yaml for instance. The whole need to figure out when and when not to use Apply.

Give me Terraform (as much as I hate it) any day.

I wish CDK was fully baked enough to actually use. It's still missing coverage for some AWS services (sometimes you have to do things in cloudformation, which sucks) and integrating existing infra doesn't work consistently. Oh and it creates cloudformation stacks behind the scenes and makes for troubleshooting hell.

Pulumi genAI-based documentation is trashed. I've moved to terraform and i was able to achieve much better results in shorter time thanks to higher documentation level for terraform.

Kubernetes no thanks. Terraform + Kamal [1] on Digital Ocean is the way I deploy/run apps now.

I don’t think Digital Ocean is all that much better for pricing, but using Pulumi over CDK is a pure win as far as I’m concerned.
