New here? You should consider alternatives

CoudForm is an awesome project, I loved it some years ago, I submitted issues and has great response from owners. It simplified my life and saved me many days of painful work with CloudFormation. It does the work, very well.

But AWS have evolved since then, and other tooling have raised.

So if you're new here, and if the idea of defining your infrastructure with code you know sound greats (it is), you should consider some alternatives, mostly:

• AWS CDK, is similar to CloudForm: it compiles to CloudFormation template, but with additional tooling and official AWS support.
• Pulumi, uses the imperative approach too, but uses directly the AWS API to create the resources instead of using CloudFormation and support more cloud provider.

Thank you @fhewitt for the kind words 🙏

I'm happy with CloudForm, other than its last version was published 1 year ago. It's ~20x smaller than aws-cdk-lib. Could someone please publish a new version, or tell me how to do it myself? ❤️

Ok so I've published @alloc/cloudform-types with updated types (plus minified JS and DTS files). 😅
