Hi Team <#C84L4E3N1|general>, Using pulumi over terraform, will give any edge on performance? we have a scenario where our states are getting longer and they are taking longer and longer when doing plan/apply, are there any documentation which talks about this?

Not exactly what you're asking for, but perhaps helpful <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/vs/terraform/>

Also important to know:

<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/how-pulumi-works/#creation-and-deletion-order>

&gt; Pulumi executes resource operations in parallel whenever possible, but understands that some resources may have dependencies on other resources. If an <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/inputs-outputs/|output> of one resource is provided as an input to another, the engine records the dependency between these two resources as part of the state and uses these when scheduling operations. This list can also be augmented by using the <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/resources/#dependson|dependsOn> resource option.

You can try using `tf2pulumi` with your terraforms and benchmark the difference

<@U02G69H3Q1J> from a performance perspective, only secret deserialization will make stacks take longer, are you using lots of secrets?
We have an in flight change to make this perform better

Thanks <@U013Q0AKUCW> for sharing the thoughts. will check the links out.

<@UCWG26BH7> not many secrets we use in our tf, backend is S3
