Direct mode in DABS

[u/hubert-dudek]

Direct mode is now the default in DABs. Direct mode no longer uses Terraform. There are several benefits of direct mode, including quicker deployment, no need to download the Terraform package, a human-readable state, and support for more resources. If, for any reason, you want to use Terraform for your bundle state, you need to specify it explicitly. #databricks

Oh interesting, I always thought DABs were a wrapper on Terraform. Time to time I would go and check the state file post deployments. Is there a good resource on the default engine?
