From YAML to TypeScript - Developer’s View on Cloud Automation
summary
Claim: replace YAML/JSON templates with real code so developers get TypeScript tooling, types and abstractions. Evidence: moving a real app required 4–5 thousand lines of JSON in ARM; a URL-shortener needs ~20 lines of JS but hundreds or thousands of template lines. Tools shown: Pulumi and AWS CDK, code compiles to a resource graph, engine diffs against cloud state, preview shows a stack and two objects, deploy creates the S3 website and prints a working endpoint.
