Terraform, being a statically compiled Go binary, just works. +- Unnecessary complexity – I see no compelling reason for Pulumi to exist. It solves problems that don't need solving and creates new ones in the process. + +Final Verdict: Terraform is the clear winner. It's purpose-built, declarative, and "just works."
