Pulumi Explained
Pulumi Corporation is a software company based in Seattle, Washington. Pulumi develops a open-source infrastructure-as-code software.
History
Pulumi was founded in 2017 by former Microsoft employees Joe Duffy and Eric Rudder.[2]
Software
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]
Criticism
In May 2024 it was 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.
