Learning Go by examples: part 12 - Deploy Go apps in Go with CDK for Terraform (CDKTF)
5 projects | dev.to | 7 Mar 2024

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.

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.

I was going to recommend Pulumi, but looks like CDK for Terraform is still being kept up to date.
