Curious if others have considered using Compose (or similar) as the source for declaring their cloud infrastructure. I’ve seen efforts to use LLMs to turn Compose into Terraform, but I’m not convinced code generation is a good substitute. I’d love to hear where this approach breaks down for others.

It’s the other way around though. I believe what I wrote there and am writing the tool I wish I had. Surely can’t blame me for trying to make a living at the same time.

K8s is so great, they wrote "kompose" to help deploy Compose files, transpiling the Compose YAML into k8s configs. You'd still be running your own DB cluster as a bunch of containers though.
