Pulumi Reviews

Very easy to configure and manage. Works well in Github actions as well

Documentation can be a bit daunting for new users and Pulumi AI hallucination can be a bit of a pain

Automate and manage my cloud deployments

Allow the TDDers to write automation tests, even IaC code can be tested!

What's more the secret as code is made possible and it's safer than SOPS. (It's harder to make mistakes than with SOPS).

Cognitive load is somewhat higher than expected.

.- Multi Cloud Support

- Multi Language Support

- Automation API

- State Management

Ease of use and writing code. It just makes things easy to deploy

Little bit technical to understand but once you do it its easy

It makes deployment easy Amazing SDK.

Pulumi is an awesome tool to easily manage Infra-as-code with a new approach more based on code than yaml like its competitors.

Being able to use my favorite langage to manage my infrastructure is really useful.

I switched to Pulumi in 2019, when I got frustrated with trying to embed any sort of logic into my Terraform configurations. I found Pulumi's approach of using a general purpose programming language made a lot more sense to me. What I like most about Pulumi is that I'm not only solving business problems through infrastructure as code, but I'm also building skill and experience in a programming language. That's transferable and reusable knowledge that adds value to my career.

As someone with an infrastructure/operations background, the learning curve of using a general purpose programming language (I started with TypeScript and later switched to Golang) can be a bit challenging if you don't already know or aren't already familiar with the language. That's not Pulumi's fault; that's just the nature of learning a programming language. The Pulumi documentation needs improvement, but otherwise I haven't run into any issues or problems.

Pulumi is an infrastructure as code (IaC) solution, designed to allow users to implement IaC using a general purpose programming language. As an IaC solution, Pulumi helps automate the deployment of cloud infrastructure to support applications running on the cloud. I can write a Pulumi program to deploy cloud resources, and then easily provision and destroy those resources with a single command. My Pulumi programs are stored in version control, so I can easily test changes before committing them, or rollback to a previous configuration. Through the use of pull requests and code reviews, I can collaborate with teammates on infrastructure changes before those changes are implemented.

* Pulumi enables us to define our AWS cloud resources through IaC components which is versioned along with our application code.

* For our infrastructure testing requirements, it provides seamless testing, modularization and CI/CD integrations for our deployments.

Best thing about Pulumi is the versatility that it has and the number of integrations to build cloud native applications, this tool makes the difference with the speed, best tool for our team

Pulumi need more templates or examples to guide non senior teams into the adoption of the platform, Pulumi should create more guides in order to potentially increase adoption

I have solved microservices, serverless architectures and event driven patterns, MLOps and Data Pipelines with this tooling, and it was very fast.

Pulumi, being the first imperative-based Infrastructure-as-Code tool, has revolutionized the deployment of infrastructure in hyperscalers, making it accessible not only to DevOps engineers but to all engineers. This breakthrough has addressed the challenges faced by DevOps teams, as revealed in the survey conducted by firefly.ai called "State of IaC" (available at https://www.firefly.ai/state-of-iac).

Pulumi (especially Pulumi Cloud) has significantly increased engineering efficiency by streamlining the IaC process, while also simplifying compliance and infrastructure versioning. By reducing the likelihood of downtime or service disruptions, Pulumi aids in troubleshooting infrastructure changes, making it an invaluable asset for organizations striving for optimal performance and reliability.

Migrating from Pulumi Cloud to Pulumi OSS can indeed be a challenging task. Pulumi Cloud offers additional features and capabilities that are not available in Pulumi OSS, which can make the transition more complex

Pulumi serves as a bridge between my

I have to say, I absolutely love using Pulumi! It's made writing my infrastructure using TypeScript a breeze. Not only that, but it's rapidly improving all the time, which is really great to see. One of my favorite things about Pulumi is the deployments feature. It's made deploying my code so much easier, and really takes a lot of the headache out of the process. Overall, I've had a really positive experience using Pulumi and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful, easy-to-use infrastructure platform.

There are some bugs, as expected with new projects. That said they get fixed very quickly so it's hard for me to complain about it.

I recently started using Pulumi to help me manage my infrastructure and deployments. It's been a game-changer! Pulumi automates all the hard parts of managing my infrastructure, which saves me hours of time every week. It's amazing how much easier my life has become since I started using it.
