CloudFormation and AWS IaC require CLI execution instead of URL-based deployment
6/10 MediumAWS IaC solutions lack the ability to deploy running resources via simple URLs (which would allow non-technical stakeholders to provision infrastructure). Instead, developers must use CLI tools, and CloudFormation—the only AWS IaC supporting URL deployment—is painful to write and slow to iterate on.

Query: “What are the most common pain points with AWS for developers in 2025?”3/29/2026
I need a goddamn CLI to run it (versus giving someone a URL they can load in their tenant and have running resources afterward)... CloudFormation is the only IaC that supports 'running as a URL' and that's only because it's an AWS native solution. And CloudFormation is a hell of a lot more painful to write and slower to iterate on.
