We've been using Pulumi in the [nitric framework](https://github.com/nitrictech/nitric) for a while now. Originally, we used native solutions like CloudFormation, then looked at options like Terraform. Pulumi ended up being our favorite by far. The docs are awesome and using the features of a language + editor you're already familiar with are pretty appealing. Autocomplete, typesafety, automated testing, etc. make it really productive.

terraform-cdk
Define infrastructure resources using programming constructs and provision them using HashiCorp Terraform
They're similar in that they both have a way to build a desired state for your infrastructure and some code for executing the changes to make that happen.
In Terraform you describe the desired state using a fairly limited language called HCL which looks a lot like a config file.
In Pulumi you describe the state by running some code in a normal language and building objects to describe the state. This means you can use features of normal programming languages to abstract your state more thoroughly - stuff like functions, data structures, loops, etc.
AWS and Terraform actually have a similar thing to Pulumi called CDK which uses a normal language to build either CloudFormation or HCL. This gives a lot of the benefits of Pulumi, but lets use use a more widely used tool like Terraform underneath.
