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
“Authentication, Firestore, and Cloud Functions get you from zero to production fast. The free tier is generous.”
“Write IaC in TypeScript with full IDE support, loops, conditionals, and testing. No DSL to learn.”
“Firestore's limitations become painful at scale. Supabase with Postgres is the modern alternative.”
“Using real programming languages for IaC makes sense. The Terraform-to-Pulumi converter eases migration.”
“Firebase defined BaaS but Supabase's open-source, Postgres-based approach is the future.”
“AI can write TypeScript better than HCL. Pulumi's approach is more natural for the AI-assisted future.”
