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 observability instrumentation. Auto-instrument once, send to any backend — Datadog, Grafana, Honeycomb.”
“Write IaC in TypeScript with full IDE support, loops, conditionals, and testing. No DSL to learn.”
“Vendor-agnostic instrumentation prevents lock-in. The ecosystem is mature enough for production.”
“Using real programming languages for IaC makes sense. The Terraform-to-Pulumi converter eases migration.”
“OpenTelemetry will be to observability what Kubernetes is to orchestration — the universal standard.”
“AI can write TypeScript better than HCL. Pulumi's approach is more natural for the AI-assisted future.”
