This looks pretty cool. My main question is: what would I have to do if I require an AWS component that is not supported by this tool? What is the developer experience of having to include a CloudFormation stack alongside this solution?

Asking because I see this as the #1 obstacle to getting buy-in in certain corporate environments. If we need a bit more flexibility, what does that look like?



Hello. Our main design goal was to make Stacktape as easy to use as possible without sacrificing flexibility and control.

Stacktape is built on top of AWS CloudFormation (it also uses CF infrastructure modules, CF custom resources and aws sdk).

To modify the generated Cloudformation, you can use overrides: https://docs.stacktape.com/configuration/overrides/

You can also add any CF resources to the template: https://docs.stacktape.com/resources/cloudformation-resource...


Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking to confirm!
