I used pulumi but it's much worse than terraform. I didn't used to think so before I learned terraform however.
My main reason to dislike pulumi is that you have to work around it's async behavior in python. Maybe it's better and more natural if you use typescript, but I had to constantly wrap methods in Outputs and other things to get the code to work.
I had to adapt my code to how pulumi worked all the time. With terraform, I just write it and it works.
So I'm using it with Python. For me it's able to do some stuff that terrafom never would be able to (Ive got a spot where resources are generated for each file/object on disk).
Give me an example... What file on disk are you generating a pulumi resource from?
We've got it rigged up for aws sso. Each department can make any number of permissions sets (and link to any number of groups). The config for that is all stored in git (with code owners configured so you can only mess up your own stuff).
