@__steele Writing plain CFN these days would really be my last resort to building infrastructure. At the same time it gives such piece of mind to know that the template spec has been stable for a decade and the execution engine is battle tested by millions and constantly monitored.
One thing where CloudFormation wins over terraform is API stability and state mgmt.
I spent hours to update an old terraform based project up to the latest release. tf, provider, state updates, breaking changes... Definitely didn't create anything of value in that time.
Did a 6 hour Senna watching marathon last evening. Iโll give it a 6.8/10. The series unfortunately to me lacks depth. It touches a lot of aspects of Sennas life, but the characters and their conversations lack depth to turn this into the emotional rollercoaster that it should be.
Like it's actually insane how more informative my feed on BlueSky is compared to X. It's TikTok-levels bad over here, it's fun (like mid-2010 Tech Twitter vibes) over there.
I hope CloudFormation change sets will get a little speed boost in the near future as well.
If you use aws-cdk make sure to use swc as a compiler for an extra performance boost during synth. ๐
This release puts AWS CloudFormation ahead of its competition: https://t.co/g5STZkb2sH
While CloudFormation sometimes is a bit slower than it's counterparts, the timeline view will significantly aid in improving the situation. Ironic how AWS wins on UX here ๐
@levelsio Make sure to look into handling bounces and complaints on some level and it works great. Probably sent billions of mails via systems I built using SES and itโs absolutely fine for typical transactional mails.
@VQuaschning Grad in Island unterwegs und jedes Hotel oder Apartment hat in irgendeiner Form 'ne Ladesรคule. Stattdessen plane ich teils die E95-Tankstopps bei der Abdeckung hier. Nรคchste mal komplett #EAuto ๐ค
