### "Ideal tool for Building IAAC services"

April 6, 2021

4.0

I prefer CloudFormation templates for Serverless development

Pros

Cloudformation works with YAML/JSON files and has simple syntax to build large scale applications. It works well for deploying applications across multiple regions with simple code and is very useful for development and deployment in higher enviroments of software development lifecycle where console access should be read only/restricted

Cons

Sometimes I feel the error scenarios/messages are not well handled. I spend a lot of time debugging CFT templates

Pros

The documentation oh my word. I was new to cloud computing but the docs were very helpful

Cons

The only downside for me is the cost probably due to exchange rate in my country
