I have been using terraform extensively at work for many years now.
I can help review / write the code, but I don't have the capacity at the 
moment to be the primary driver of this effort.

My recommendation would be to stay away from Cloud Formation as far as 
possible. I don't know much about CDK, but I do know it compiles down to 
ClodFormation so it is a non-starter for me.


Terraform is probably lesser of these evils. Although at a certain point 
as project grows HCL becomes a point of great friction too.


At work we are actively looking at Pulumi [1]. You can use normal 
programming language like Python to write your infrastructure
