I really, really want to like Terraform. I tried it on a medium project by starting with and modifying the Segment stack. I ran into constant problems with it not being able to deal with errors and not being able to modify the stack in a way that would work. I ran into several situations where I would have to change names and labels just so it could work around itself while I was trying to iterate on the stack and bring it to a workable state.

To give you an idea of how many problems I had I currently have 4 different tfstate files from 4 days of testing. I had to go into AWS and manually delete resources because it couldn't recover from the errors it created.

One example: I was using the ECS option and changed the container source for a service. Seems easy enough and something that should work. Terraform wedged itself after applying the change so badly that I had to blow away the entire setup to get it reset to where it could even run `plan` without erroring.

Otto looked nice but it had fundamental, basic issues and it seems like nobody was actually working on it. I +1'd a bug with the PHP implementation where it didn't give you the option to change the web root and never got an update. This is something that every single decent PHP framework out there REQUIRES and wasn't supported. Otto PHP seemed like it was designed simply to work with Wordpress.
