Reviewer scorecard
“Write IaC in TypeScript with full IDE support, loops, conditionals, and testing. No DSL to learn.”
“Docker builds that take 10 minutes in CI complete in 30 seconds on Depot. The speed improvement is dramatic.”
“Using real programming languages for IaC makes sense. The Terraform-to-Pulumi converter eases migration.”
“If Docker builds are your CI bottleneck, Depot eliminates it. Drop-in replacement with massive time savings.”
“AI can write TypeScript better than HCL. Pulumi's approach is more natural for the AI-assisted future.”
“Remote build infrastructure will become standard. Local or CI builds on underpowered machines make no sense.”
