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 standard for production container orchestration. Managed K8s (EKS, GKE, AKS) removes most operational burden.”
“Write IaC in TypeScript with full IDE support, loops, conditionals, and testing. No DSL to learn.”
“Massively over-engineered for 90% of workloads. Most teams would be better served by simpler deployment platforms.”
“Using real programming languages for IaC makes sense. The Terraform-to-Pulumi converter eases migration.”
“The API model Kubernetes established is becoming the universal infrastructure abstraction layer.”
“AI can write TypeScript better than HCL. Pulumi's approach is more natural for the AI-assisted future.”
