I was the sole DevOps at my company for a long time, the team is now bigger. I used terraform for AWS and pulumi for K8S (terraform was too restrictive).

IMO pulumi is a huge gain of productivity when you know what you're doing. Cons: * It's plagued by bugs and the pulumi-kubernetes provider is not getting enough attention from the pulumi team (they're always working on compatibility with yet another language instead of focusing on one thing) * You end up with your very specific/personal codebase instead of having a generic/standard thing

Still, no regrets, I saved so much time thanks to pulumi!

With a bigger team: * Oboarding people takes more time * You end up with code quality issues. Most "DevOps" people aren't devs, sadly.
