I love how terraform can describe what I’ve got. Sort of. Assuming I or my colleagues or my noob customers don’t modify resources on the same account.

I don’t love how unreliable providers are, even for creating resources. Clouds like DigitalOcean will 429 throttle me for making too many plans in a row with only 100+ resources. Sometimes the plan goes through, but the apply fails. Sometimes halfway through.

I’d rather use a cloud-specific API, unless I’m certain of the quality of the specific terraform provider.
