Reviewer scorecard
“Write IaC in TypeScript with full IDE support, loops, conditionals, and testing. No DSL to learn.”
“Solid Heroku alternative with better pricing. Auto-deploy from Git, managed Postgres, and Redis without the complexity.”
“Using real programming languages for IaC makes sense. The Terraform-to-Pulumi converter eases migration.”
“Reliable, well-priced, and boring in the best way. Free tier is useful for side projects.”
“AI can write TypeScript better than HCL. Pulumi's approach is more natural for the AI-assisted future.”
“Not relevant for non-developers. Use Vercel or Netlify if you want frontend-first deployment.”
