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)

SAM is cloudformation. cloudformation is the thing to use if you’re on the AWS cloud
CloudFormation is without a doubt the worst cloud technology I have ever used.
It's at least second or third worst. Worst would be writing your own deployment tool that does what CloudFormation (or TF or Pulumi) do. Second worst would be writing a tool that uses a templating language to generate CloudFormation and only using that.
Yeah I wasn't really considering home rolled stuff. Officially supported tech.
lol. what’s next? you used terraform and it was awesome?
