Reviewer scorecard
“The most mature AI developer platform. Assistants API, function calling, and the Playground are all well-designed. Documentation is extensive.”
“Write IaC in TypeScript with full IDE support, loops, conditionals, and testing. No DSL to learn.”
“Reliability has improved dramatically. The rate limits are generous on paid tiers. The Assistants API is finally stable enough for production.”
“Using real programming languages for IaC makes sense. The Terraform-to-Pulumi converter eases migration.”
“OpenAI has the largest ecosystem of developers and integrations. Even if other models catch up, the platform moat is real.”
“AI can write TypeScript better than HCL. Pulumi's approach is more natural for the AI-assisted future.”
