Pulumi is an open‑source infrastructure‑as‑code platform that lets you define cloud resources using familiar programming languages. It provides a unified CLI and SDKs for managing, deploying, and version‑controlling infrastructure across any cloud provider.

Use cases

• provision AWS, Azure, or GCP resources with TypeScript or Python
• manage Kubernetes clusters and serverless functions using Go
• automate multi‑cloud deployments with Pulumi Automation API
• store and rotate secrets securely with Pulumi ESC
• migrate existing Terraform state to Pulumi while reusing modules

When to choose

• You need to write infrastructure code in a general‑purpose language you already know.
• Your organization runs workloads across multiple cloud providers and wants a single IaC tool.
• You require programmatic control, loops, conditionals, and abstractions in your infrastructure definitions.
• You want built‑in secret management, drift detection, and policy enforcement.

When to avoid

• Your team prefers declarative YAML/JSON only and has no need for language features.
• The project is very small and a simple Terraform or CloudFormation template would suffice.
• You cannot run a Node.js/Python/Go runtime in your CI/CD environment.
