Stateful Infrastructure as Code is an anachronism. Embrace stateless platforms and consign Terraform to the dustbin of history.
FO Take · Score 90
The industry remains shackled by archaic Infrastructure as Code. Terraform’s state-file approach introduces needless complexity and fragility. We must move to stateless paradigms, treating live APIs as truth. Anything less is professional malpractice. When will we stop clinging to past mistakes?
The strongest counter
Terraform’s state management provides a crucial source of truth for complex deployments, preventing configuration drift and offering a clear rollback path.
