Lol, cloudformartion historically did't support really huge and mandatory parts of aws resources and resource parameters and as there was no Roadmap of support until previous year https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/aws-cloudformation-cov... it was not fan because basically you couldn't even try for example to enable RDS storage autoscaller for RDS via CF template. That's why terraform was created because of AWS CF didn't support own AWS resources.

hahahah. terraform has bugs that were opened 8 years ago and were swept under the rug countless times.

the fundamental problem is that terraform is not even a half baked tool (what version was it again? 0.12?) and people are betting the farm on it. guess i’ll go build more software while others are twirling their hands with the super HCL language (what’s even more aggravating is that Hashicorp got this part - the language - right with Vagrant but I guess reinventing the wheel and using go was sexier).

Just because it isn’t 1.0 doesn’t mean it’s not production ready.
