> I think if you run EKS resources like node groups, autoscalers, LB type of resources in the same state file as helm deployments you're going to have a very bad time though.

There's no alternative to that anyway... otherwise even a terraform apply -refresh=false will quickly take well over 10 minutes.

seperate applies in different state files? I establish hard loosely coupled separations here and it’s been fine as terraform wrapper around helm. I’d rather run ci jobs around gitops + charts using whatever your preferred flavor but current terraform providers seem fine with it as long as you arent overly relying on crd’s that like to track state via timestamps, terraform doesnt like that, but someone might depending on their use case.
