Does AWS CDK handle state drift and state transitions in the same way Terraform/Pulumi does?
I believe AWS CDK uses CloudFormation under the hood which can not "intelligently" fix state drift in the same way Terraform can. CF can only tell you that tthee state has drifted, but cannot actually figure out how to fix that drift which IMO is one of the biggest strikes against CF.

The "State" section of this article has a better description of what I'm talking about: https://medium.com/@endofcake/terraform-vs-cloudformation-1d...
