> Anyone have an idea of the reasons terraform needs a 370 MiB binary just to call REST APIs?
That's because Terraform fell for the Go trap. When space and bandwidth are cheap, why not go for an environment that only ships fully self contained binaries? Oh, and why not go for a language that attracts hipsters like fruits attract flies, but is a nightmare to develop in?
Bloody ridiculous, it's a miracle Terraform got as far as it did.
(Yes, I'm working with Terraform every day and it's pretty decent but I'd love to extend it for Atlassian Cloud stuff without having to add a sixth language to my already sized toolbelt. Why Atlassian doesn't offer Terraform integration on their own is beyond me in any case)
