Pulumi was founded in 2017 by former Microsoft employees Joe Duffy and Eric Rudder. [2]
The open-source Pulumi CLI and SDKs allows users to manage cloud infrastructure resources [3] in Cloud Providers such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Kubernetes. [4] using programming languages such as Go, JavaScript, TypeScript, [5] Python, Java, C# and YAML.
Pulumi's Automation API supports provisioning infrastructure via programmatic workflows. [6]
In May 2024 The Register reported that Pulumi AI-generated code examples indexed by Google's search engine contain many cases that are untested and/or buggy. [7] One comment to the report suggested that examples like those can be avoided by using Google's advanced search prefix, "before:2023" when searching for code.
I've written about declarative languages in this area like Polar and HCL, but Pulumi's approach could give developers the ability to write code in their preferred language, like TypeScript, while calling APIs across a range of cloud and SaaS providers
Automation API as a technology that answers the question, "What if IaC was a [whole] library [of software code functions and services], not just a Command Line Interface CLI [single software command]," which enables the development of custom Platforms-as-a-Service and multi-step workflows including drift detection.
