Both are excellent IaC tools. Here’s how to decide between them.
Terraform
- HCL language (declarative)
- Huge community and modules
- Been around longer, very stable
- Provider ecosystem unmatched
Pulumi
- Real programming languages
- Better for complex logic
- Native testing with familiar tools
- Smaller but growing community
My Take
Terraform for broad team adoption. Pulumi if your team prefers TypeScript/Python and needs programmatic features.
