Pulumi
Pulumi is an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) platform that allows teams to define and manage cloud infrastructure using real programming languages. It enables scalable, testable, and maintainable cloud automation across providers.
What is it?
Pulumi is an open-source Infrastructure as Code platform that enables developers to manage cloud resources using general-purpose programming languages such as TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, and C# instead of declarative DSLs.
What does it do?
Pulumi provisions and manages cloud infrastructure by leveraging native language features like loops, conditionals, functions, and testing. It supports multi-cloud deployments and integrates with CI/CD pipelines and cloud-native services.
Where is it used?
Pulumi is used in cloud-native applications, SaaS platforms, platform engineering teams, and enterprises that require advanced infrastructure logic, strong typing, and reusable infrastructure components.
When & why it emerged
Pulumi was introduced in 2018 to address limitations of traditional IaC tools. It emerged to bring software engineering best practices—such as code reuse, testing, and modularity—into infrastructure management.
Why we use it at Internative
We use Pulumi for projects that require complex infrastructure logic and strong integration with application code. It allows us to manage infrastructure using the same languages and practices as our software systems.
