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.
Hi everyone, We've gone through a lot of pain to get this blueprint working since our AWS costs were getting out of hand but we didn't want to part ways with CDK. We've now got the same stack structure going with Pulumi and Digital ocean, having the same ease of development with at least 60% cost reduction.
Give me Terraform (as much as I hate it) any day.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Why not? Install trafeik or any other load balancer, setup two services, and restart one after one.
Ah yes my favourite thing to have to do, rolling my own deploys and rollbacks. It’s stuff like this that’s just a thousand papercuts that dissuades me from using these “simpler” tools. By the time you’ve rebuilt by hand what you need, you’ve just created a worse version of the “more complex” solution. I get it if your workload is so simple ir low requirement that zero-downtime deploys, rollbacks, health/liveness, aut…
Pulumi is really a royal piece of shit. Why the f*ck am I writing code to do "deployment". In C# --> new Dictionary 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.

Terraform sure is a quirky little DSL ain’t it? It’s so weirdly verbose.
But at the same time I can create some azure function app, setup my GitHub build pipeline, get auth0 happy and in theory hook up parts of stripe all in one system. All those random diverse API’s plumbed together and somehow it manages to work.
But boy howdy is that language weird.
