Cloud services like AWS or Google Cloud Platform may be the wrong choice
> - Terraform to create the API gateway, database, lambdas, queues, Route 53 records: 1 week<p>- Terraform to create the IAM policies: 4 weeks<p>Perhaps it's because I am very familiar with the aforementioned tool and cloud but 5 weeks for writing those resources gives me the impresion of:<p>1. Lack of experience on AWS.<p>2. Lack of experience with Terraform.<p>3. Both.<p>I don't want to sound arrogant by any means but a Terraform project for something like that, documented, with its CI and applying changes via CD, would take me 4 days being generous.
