Moral of the story: idempotent code is good, therefore use existing tools where you can that have it built in, and only try and roll your own when you absolutely must.

[Josh Feierman @awanderingmind]

One of the most important words in infrastructure as code development is... idempotent. What's it mean? 🧵 👇

[Josh Feierman @awanderingmind]

Here's the good thing though: most good infrastructure-as-code tools have this built in! If you use Terraform, for example, and use it properly (I'm looking at you null resources), then it by-and-large ensures your code is idempotent without any effort from you.
