· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Define your infra in TS, Python, Go, C# or YAML. Pulumi provides managed templates for which implement “best practices” e.g. security groups and IAM roles which makes it easy to deploy common services like ECS or Lambda. You can import Terraform modules. End to end CI & CD for infra and code e.g. build, upload, deploy a Docker image. Docs chat AI gives helpful code examples.

Tradeoffs

Some of the docs aren’t up to date on the latest release. Doesn’t support more complex code deployment models e.g. green/blue with easy (non Gitops) rollbacks.
