Not sure why you’d ever do this instead of using terraform.

As someone who spends two hours a day dealing with buggered terraform state and upgrading terraform and dealing with terraform bugs I can see it.

It’s one of those things that really works pretty well but there are enough edge cases to make it slightly soul sucking.

Would it be more soul sucking than emulating it with bash, as the article is almost suggesting?

Agreed, I swapped my team from teraform to Ansible to SAM... SAM has been the most reliable and resilient and stable for my use cases (general serverless)

If you don't like Terraform then you should use CloudFormation, not bash scripts.

SAM is cloudformation. cloudformation is the thing to use if you’re on the AWS cloud

Oh no that’s even worse.

About the same. Just nice for stuff to suck in a different way occasionally.
