hold
Imperative IaC is a technique we hold in the garden.
Summary
Key points: However, the two main goals of IaC are decreased blast radius and security over time, which imperative IaC makes impossible. Almost all clients we have worked with have regretted the choice of Imperative IaC tools like Pulumi and AWS CDK. While imperative IaC code might be smaller, the side effects of simple changes are vastly more complicated to understand, which makes responding to change risky, and error prone.
