How does this compare to Salt Stack?

“Built on Python, Salt is an event-driven automation tool and framework to deploy, configure, and manage complex IT systems. Use Salt to automate common infrastructure administration tasks and ensure that all the components of your infrastructure are operating in a consistent desired state.”

salt is heavy: it has client, server, agent. it equires installation, consumes resources, etc.

pyinfra is just python that gets transpiled into ssh commands

I wouldn't call it heavy, but more complex instead. Salt is astonishingly lightweight (at least before they started vendoring everything and I stopped using it) and extremely fast - due to its execution model it doesn't really matter whether you target 10 or 10000 nodes with a job.
