I think you should also talk about the drawbacks, potential roadblocks and failure points. Otherwise it's not possible to make an educated decision on whether to move to SI from, say, Terraform, and as such, we wont. SI is very early days and it's exceedingly obvious there will be a ton of issues with it. Terraform has a ton of drawbacks and it's old tech by now. Provide us information so we can decide whether it's worth dealing with SI issues to no longer have to deal with Terraform issues. Otherwise this is just marketing speak and will fall on flat ears.
All marketing is marketing that will land on flat ears. In the end, you'll have to try System Initiative, see if it is a fit for your use case today, and if it isn't, if it's worth paying attention to tomorrow. I wouldn't (and you shouldn't either) make a technology decision based on what anyone says on their website or blog. :)
Today the obvious drawbacks:
* Terraform has tons of coverage in their provider ecosystem, and we're not close to that yet.
* We have some enterprise features still to add.
* There is some work to be done around huge infrastructures, both in how to provide easy ways to visualize them and how we scale the underlying graphs.
We have plans for all these things, but it's early days. My advice (not just for SI) - you should always build representative prototypes if you want to understand what a technology might do for you. Your circumstances matter, and your problems are likely unique.
Prototypes are expensive and as such difficult to justify if the technology doesn't look promising. I'm sure you're aware there's a new self-proclaimed miracle tool appearing in this ecosystem every day. My point is that there is a severe lack of information to make an educated decision here.
I think it's fair to say most people will be interested in potentially replacing Terraform with this. Do you have a comparison against Terraform? Is there a guide on how to import resources into SI?
Having a pros/cons page vis-a-vis alternatives that was honest and thorough is something Hashicorp always did well, to their credit. You should, too. It earns trust.
One of my past employers specifically declined to write up this while trying to sell into a crowded space like SI aims to. In my case I really got the stinkeye for asking about it (how we compare, and do we document that publicly anywhere) during my first few weeks. It definitely left a sour taste for me.
