This looks cool, love the approach of a more &quot;pythonic&quot; infra as code -- have also noticed this pattern in Modal [1] and Ray [2] and all for it.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;modal.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;examples&#x2F;hackernews_alerts" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;modal.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;examples&#x2F;hackernews_alerts</a> [2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.ray.io&#x2F;en&#x2F;latest&#x2F;ray-overview&#x2F;getting-started.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.ray.io&#x2F;en&#x2F;latest&#x2F;ray-overview&#x2F;getting-started.h...</a><p>edit: forgot to mention StackQL [3], which is somewhat similar but takes a SQL-first vs python-first approach. The IaC space is about to get a lot more interesting.<p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stackql.io&#x2F;docs" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stackql.io&#x2F;docs</a>

Nitpick - you&#x27;re writing AWS IaaC in python, not shipping python code.

Both AWS CDK [1] and Pulumi [2] already support Python and work great, what are you trying to achieve over them?<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.aws.amazon.com&#x2F;cdk&#x2F;v2&#x2F;guide&#x2F;work-with-cdk-python.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.aws.amazon.com&#x2F;cdk&#x2F;v2&#x2F;guide&#x2F;work-with-cdk-pytho...</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pulumi.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;iac&#x2F;languages-sdks&#x2F;python&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pulumi.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;iac&#x2F;languages-sdks&#x2F;python&#x2F;</a>

I haven’t had a use case yet to try this but it looks pretty sweet!
