    Crossplane is a tool for building control planes and serves as an alternative to Terraform for provisioning managed resources in any cloud. The advantage of Crossplane over Terraform is that you can work with YAML in the same manner as deployments, services, and other Kubernetes resources, as opposed to Terraform which requires a different language and deployment system.

    When combined with GitOps, Crossplane becomes even more powerful, allowing you to manage all your application configuration and infrastructure setup in one place.

    However, we've noticed a drawback: the complexity surrounding Crossplane, particularly when building Crossplane Compositions. While its documentation is not as comprehensive as Terraform's, it's improving daily.
