Pulumi lets you define infrastructure using TypeScript, Python, Go, C#, or Java instead of a domain-specific language. Real programming constructs for IaC.
Reviewer scorecard
“The serverless standard. Event sources, layers, and container image support cover every use case.”
“Write IaC in TypeScript with full IDE support, loops, conditionals, and testing. No DSL to learn.”
“Cold starts have improved dramatically. For event-driven workloads, Lambda's pricing model is unbeatable.”
“Using real programming languages for IaC makes sense. The Terraform-to-Pulumi converter eases migration.”
“Serverless is the default compute model. Lambda's ecosystem and AWS integration ensure its dominance.”
“AI can write TypeScript better than HCL. Pulumi's approach is more natural for the AI-assisted future.”
