Don't use Terraform? If you want to create individual resources one by one, go for it. Use something like CDK which abstracts a lot of the boilerplate away.

I wound up with a job at a TF-heavy company. I personally despise Terraform. The language is anemic and there's too much copy-paste code.

…and compiles into CloudFormation, which is of the devil.

I also have issues with infrastructure being declared imperatively. I’ve seen countless bugs and incidents caused by CDK surprises.

You get precisely what you ask for with a declarative language.
