Skeddly vs Terraform: Which is a better fit?

I have reached out to support on several occasions with questions and feel like my requests have been resolved on the first contact. The pricing is also great since you only pay per action.

Suggestions to change names of AMI's and avoid them repeat names too. Once I was generating AMI's with the same name, one killing other and I was thinking we had more backups in different times.

At the same time the cleanup tasks are great and help keep snapshot and storage costs down because we don't have to think about it and we only keep the data we want.

Maybe the request for providing a credit card and not being entirely sure whether I would be charged after a month or not (in my opinion this was not very clear on the terms of use).

So easy to define actions once you have linked it to your AWS account, and having multiple users for a Skeddly account is a great help too.

Lack of notification options such as having the possibility to dispatch the notifications to several email address and/or have separate email address per event.

Backing up my new web apps user uploads on S3. Couldn't find any other solution I was happy with out there.

For example backup tasks, scaling tasks etc. Now we have a log lost and solve this using a naming convention.

The thing I like is that many indie developers write useful modules for Terraform which really helps in automating important tasks. The sky is the limit in automation when you are using Terraform.

It does not have a rollback feature & if something fails all the changes before that failed change would still be applied. Some conditional logics are unnecessarily cumbersome.

Learning HCL and transforming to Infrastructure-As-Code is is a paradigm shift and not an easy one but a very interesting one which will help us become more agile and deliver faster and more reliable.

Having to manage this is annoying and can be a huge pain.

Terraform is great at building and managing lots of different tech setups with a lot of helpful add-ons and ability to repeat tasks easily.

It seems that there are still some provider options missing so some thing need to be done manually.

Terraform is amazing because it removes some of the complexity of AWS.

User and Access management is a miss. We had to use workspace, and shell scripts to check the correct access of different resources.
