Welcome Lex :wave: out of curiosity, what 300 sites and 30 brands mean technically speaking ?

Also, Welcome, and also out of curiosity; Is there are reason you prefer Terraform over AWS CDK or Pulumi. It is a decision that we have struggled with as an organization?

Welcome Lex. I'm wondering the same as Romaric. Also, I'll be happy to know which components of ArgoCD are you utilizing. It's really a great project, and I think I underutilize it

<@U0423VB87U4> Out of curiosity, have you considered using Terraform CDK ? We have been considering using it since it went GA. I would love to know your thoughts

Thank you <@U03V699CS15>  Great question here is a little intro on the company some companies such as <https://deciem.com/en-us|Deciem> include 2 brands NIOD and the well know The Ordinary  <https://www.elcompanies.com/en/who-we-are/at-a-glance> among these brands the company sells in 150 countries and each of this require specific compliance , security , language , as well as product recommendation ect.

<@U040RM5AKSS>;  Terraform CDK is on our radar, indeed. For AWS specific stuff -- it is hard to match the efforts currently being put into AWS-CDK by the community and AWS itself. Specifically in the area of L2 and L3 Constructs -- where you can create entire functional stacks with just a few lines of code. Pulumi offers similar abstraction for non AWS stuff (Auth0, New Relic, PagerDuty, etc.)  We don't have any opposition to Terraform CDK, we just don't have a compelling reason to adopt it (we are AWS only.)
