Hi! Honest question, why did decide on using pulomi instead of just using the boto3 Python library to interact with aws? Feels like it adds a lot of overhead where something like boto3 could just be abstracted away?

Hi! Good question, few reasons:

1. state management & stages - pulumi already deals with state and has support for stages (stacks) which stelvio will need.

2. there are things outside of AWS that stelvio might support later (cloudflare, etc.)

Initially I was gonna use AWS CDK which I use at work but Pulumi seems to have faster deployment and option to use other things than AWS. (Although AWS is main focus of Stelvio at leats for now)
