How does Terraform compare to Pulumi for multi-cloud provisioning?

The question is about Terraform

Answer:

Both Terraform and Pulumi are multi-cloud enablement platforms, but each adopts a different approach and tooling. Terraform uses an infrastructure-specific declarative language, HCL, which is readable, modular, and hence ideal for DevOps teams. Pulumi allows developers to use general-purpose programming languages like Python, TypeScript, and Go, ensuring flexibility and coherence with the application code that they will have developed. While Terraform has a big library of community modules, Pulumi has thorough support and is still growing its library. Of course, developers who would like to use their already familiar programming languages prefer Pulumi. Terraform remains a favorite due to its maturity, stability, and syntax, focused on infrastructure for managing complex environments in multi-cloud environments by DevOps teams.
