Hi holoway, I've been following your project for a couple of months now. How do you compare yourselves to upbound/crossplane?
IME crossplane has been a "much better terraform" and also borrows from some of tf's open source provider code. Seems to be one of the best IaC pattern for k8s centric shops.
Pros:
- adoption of k8s core engine, state mgmt
- model everything as a CRD, consistent definition pattern both infra and app
- open source
- great UI when layered with argoCD
- declarative
Cons:
- steep abstraction learning curve (for me anyway)
- docs lacked key context for newbs (also getting way better, big efforts here)
