## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 95/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:39:23.370411+00:00)
- activity 99, release rhythm 86, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 3593, "days_push": 7, "days_rel": 14, "gap_med": 5.0, "n_releases_24m": 133}
- flags: none
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
Pulumi is an open-source infrastructure-as-code platform that lets you define, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure using general-purpose programming languages like TypeScript, Python, Go, .NET, Java, and HCL instead of YAML. It provisions resources across AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and 300+ providers, with optional Pulumi Cloud services for state management, deployments, secrets, and AI-assisted infrastructure workflows.

## Use cases
- provision aws vpc and ec2 instances with typescript
- manage kubernetes infrastructure as code in python
- migrate from terraform to a programming-language-based iac tool
- manage cloud infrastructure secrets and configuration centrally
- automate multi-cloud deployments from ci/cd
- run terraform state and modules with a managed backend
- let ai agents safely provision cloud infrastructure

## When to choose
- you prefer real programming languages (loops, functions, packages) over YAML/HCL for infrastructure
- you need multi-cloud support across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes with 300+ providers
- you want to embed infrastructure automation in applications via Automation API
- you want optional hosted state, secrets, drift detection, and policy enforcement

## When to avoid
- your team is deeply invested in pure Terraform/HCL workflows and tooling
- you only need simple single-cloud provisioning and prefer declarative YAML tools like CloudFormation
- you require fully offline operation with no hosted service, since advanced features pair with Pulumi Cloud
