What is Pulumi?

Pulumi is a modern platform that uses the IaC (Infrastructure as Code) principle for infrastructure management. Unlike Terraform, it allows you to define infrastructure using languages like TypeScript, Python, Go, and C#.

It supports AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and many other cloud providers.

Infrastructure with TypeScript

With Pulumi, you can define complex infrastructure using TypeScript. You can write more flexible and readable infrastructure code using programming language features like loops, conditions, and functions.

TypeScript's type safety allows you to catch infrastructure errors before runtime.

Core Working Principle

Pulumi programs define the desired state of resources. You apply this state to the cloud with pulumi up and clean up resources with pulumi destroy.

Environment management with stacks State management and locking Information sharing with outputs Sensitive data management with secrets

Components and Modularity

Pulumi components let you create reusable infrastructure modules. You can package and share complex structures like VPCs, clusters, or databases.

CI/CD Integration

Pulumi integrates with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and other CI/CD tools. You can safely apply infrastructure changes in automated deployment pipelines.
