Stacktape vs. 
Terraform
TerraformTerraform and other low level tools it's usually combined with are made for DevOps and infrastructure experts. Custom infrastructure and DevOps pipelines created around Terraform typically require months of configuration and fine-tuning before they are ready for production.
Stacktape, on the other hand, is a tool made primarily for developers. It can do almost everything that a custom Terraform solution can, but without having to spend months on infrastructure configuration and deployment pipeline setup.
