20 Years of Nix
As far as I know, it’s still about [0]. I’ve had a better experience with deploy-rs though [1] - or even just using nixos-rebuild to target the remote machine.

Will we move away from DSLs?
For example Nix can already replace ansible, packer, cloudformation[1], dockerfiles.

NixOS History and Our Experience - Nix, Null, Nada, Nothing
Nix can also ship the nixpkgs as an oci image (e.g. docker image), vm image, iso, or if you're able to: as a nixos configuration. Tools like nixops can allow you to deploy many machines and have their behavior exactly specified, and the configuration can be version controlled. NixOS configuration can be thought of as congruent configuration management, where many other tools give you many less guarantees about configuration drift and reproducibility.

The best solution for deploying flakes
There are 4 tools I'm taking into consideration right now, but every suggestion is welcome: 1. deploy-rs - I don't know anything about it, heard about it like a day or two ago 2. NixOps - the official one, I don't know what to think, but I have concerns about Flakes compatibility 3. morph - I understand this as "NixOps, but better", no more toughs. 4. colmena - seems to be pretty straightforward with quite nice docs

Spectrum OS: a declarative, reproducible, compartmentalized Linux
I'm still relatively new to NixOS, having switched all my personal systems over to it this spring/summer. I don't have a detailed answer to your question, but I believe NixOPs is the canonical way to do what you're describing in production/at scale:

Tool for managing multiple machines of a distributed system?
Nixops is specifically made for purposes like yours.

NixOS 21.05 Released!
Well, everyone of course! But especially devops, developers, power-users, and ricer folks. Due to the declarative and purity aspect of nixpkgs, all builds and configurations can be version controlled, cached and shared. NixOS can easily be extended to produce docker images, vm images, or even distributed deployments. You can also write reproducible multi-node integration tests. Tinkerers! Love playing around with the latest desktop manager or modifying builds? Nixpkgs allows you to modify any package you wish to, locally! Nixpkgs is actually a source distribution but its guarantees around purity and reproducibility are so strong that you can get a binary cache "for free".

Backblaze Is Now a Terraform Provider
You could use NixOps[0] for Nix but I'm not sure you can directly compare Terraform and Guix/Nix? My set up involves Terraform for infrastructure and Nix for provisioning, and it's working for me so far.

Benefits/disadvantages of Guix System in general and over NixOS?
I'll have to read more about NixOps though, I had kind of forgotten that it existed!
-
NixOS Linux
Kind of off topic, but I would love to have NixOps (https://github.com/NixOS/nixops) as an abstraction layer for every type of cloud service, and not just virtual machines (e.g. queues, object storages, etc).
There is Terraform and Ansible, of course, but Nix seems like it could combine the strengths of both of them.

Learning Go by examples: part 12 - Deploy Go apps in Go with CDK for Terraform (CDKTF)
At first I tested it to deploy an OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes Service (MKS) with a Node Pool. And step by step, it worked. I even created a Pull Request (PR) in the terraform-cdk repository to add it as an example ☺️.

I'll be trying more sample app deployments with CDK and maybe even explore CDK for Terraform.

Show HN: Winglang – a new Cloud-Oriented programming language
You can use CDK with other providers using https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-cdk
In my experience, CDK is far better than Pulumi, especially if you're mostly going to be using AWS.

Why is Kubernetes adoption so hard?
I, personally, prefer Crossplane Composite Functions on top of CDK8S, but had dropped CDKTF due to bloat. You can actually manage Kubernetes updates/upgrade lifecycle with Crossplane, as well.

Backend engineers that don't like JavaScript
I was going to recommend Pulumi, but looks like CDK for Terraform is still being kept up to date.

Should i migrate from Kustomize to Helm?
Avoid Pulumi, get directly to source and use https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-cdk

What are some alternatives?
deploy-rs - A simple multi-profile Nix-flake deploy tool.
Pulumi - Pulumi - Infrastructure as Code in any programming language. Build infrastructure intuitively on any cloud using familiar languages 🚀
terraform - Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.
terragrunt - Terragrunt is a thin wrapper for Terraform that provides extra tools for working with multiple Terraform modules.
