There are way too many apps for converting config into code. I'd much rather see more like this that convert code into unnecessary config.

How does this compare to <a href="https://encore.dev/" rel="nofollow">https://encore.dev/</a> or other infrastructure-inside-application-code solutions?

I’ve used SST, Pulumi, CDK, and Terraform. I decided to stick with SST because it offers a far superior development experience. Sure, I could write IAM policies with plain CDK, but it’s more error-prone and harder to maintain. Features like linking and live lambdas just make development so much easier.<p>I actually think this project makes a lot of sense. It lets you get started in minutes without dealing with unnecessary details. Furthermore, you can always access the low-level Pulumi component and override whatever you need. Keep doing what you’re doing! Your project makes IaC more accessible to everyone, and that’s a good thing. I’ll be happy to try it.

1) The first 2 links in the readme are 404s<p>2) I feel like the very first question this project needs to answer is: "Why should i use this over the official AWS CDK?" (assuming you want other people to use this). Besides maybe some nicer syntax I don't really see a reason to use this and lose all the (sometimes lacking) documentation, examples + community support that exists for CDK.<p>2.1) The listed benefits include "Use your favorite [...] type checker", but the example uses strings for specifying field types (vs. AWS CDK which would use enums, and is also "pure python") which immediately throws that out of the window

Why would I ever use this instead of just using the CDK with Python? There is plenty of documentation and my experience is I can one shot my entire IAC with a well defined spec with ChatGPT to generate CDK code.<p>Yes I know AWS well enough to know whether it is correct

It's unlikely to cover the AWS API's with 100% certainty, and I don't want to spend time trying to work out the kinks, so honestly, I'd rather just use the AWS CDK and CloudFormation.
