I see that GCP support is "coming soon"--even just a quota comparison would be really nice, as these are numerous and a big pain there. Any ETA on when there might be something for GCP?

We don't have an ETA there yet. I opened issues for GCP support, please +1 them to help us prioritize! https://github.com/tinystacks/precloud/issues

This is really cool. I am co-founder of Terrateam[0] and we see failed runs for these reasons a lot more than we expected and it's dangerous. It wastes time and a failure during an apply leaves your infrastructure in an inconsistent state. I'm excited to play with this.

Any time I see a nodejs tool aimed at systems tasks (general infrastructure, IaC, etc) I immediately disregard it. While, to be honest, I'm not sure that's a fair way to look at tools like this, it's the reality.

I always wonder at the authors motivation to use node when the majority of the ecosystem is written in golang. This is actually one of the main reasons I dont use terraform CDK right now. Why is CDK node first (I know there is golang support) when terraform is all golang?

I agree that it's weird to write any command-line tool in Node. Very few developers have `npm` installed.
