How and When to Use Terraform with Kubernetes
Terraform is an infrastructure as code tool that replaces the ClickOps method of defining, deploying, and managing infrastructure locally, on-premises, or in the cloud. Its declarative method of defining infrastructure lets you focus on the target state of the infrastructure rather than the steps needed to achieve that state, which makes managing infrastructure easier.

How I suffered my first burnout as software developer
As part of the task, I also needed to build the necessary infrastructure in AWS. The client organization primarily relied on “click-ops,” manually configuring resources through the AWS Management Console, and had not yet embraced Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Since we wanted to introduce IaC to streamline processes, I asked my boss if they had a preferred tool, such as Terraform, AWS CDK, or Pulumi. Their response was vague: “Any tool will do.”
