FAQ

• Why not CDK8s/CDKTF?
  • I've tried every combination of the CDKs with Node/Deno/Bun, and liked them - I much prefer TypeScript to HCL. Unfortunately, the CDK ecosystem seems to be heading toward adandonment. There are also various issues with the runtimes' compatibility with the CDK tools.
• Why not K8s manifests?
  • Terraform enforces dependencies with its DAG - this does not happen when applying manifests in bulk from a directory. Using Terraform for all also helps cross-ecosystem resource support (ex, Cloudflare + Kubernetes)
• Why not Helm?
  • Much has been said already on the merits of templating YAML. That said, I'll comsume Helm charts via the Terraform provider so as not to reinvent the wheel - I just won't write my own.
• Why not Jsonnet/Cue/etc?
  • Also tried Jsonnet/Tanka, and the lack of support was the main issue. It was cool, but has similar issues to CDK (ecosystem), is ultimately just straight manifests (no DAG), and is only for K8s resources (ie, no cloud config).
