Tooling in the infrastructure-as-code space continues to evolve, and we’re pleased to see that Pulumi is no exception to this trend. The platform recently added support for Java and YAML, for managing infrastructure at scale as well as for a multitude of cloud configurations and integrations, making the platform even more compelling. For our teams, it’s still the main alternative to Terraform for developing code for multiple cloud platforms.
We've been seeing an increase in teams using Pulumi in various organizations. Pulumi fills a gaping hole in the infrastructure coding world where Terraform maintains a firm hold. While Terraform is a tried-and-true standby, its declarative nature suffers from inadequate abstraction facilities and limited testability. Terraform is adequate when the infrastructure is entirely static, but dynamic infrastructure definitions call for a real programming language. Pulumi distinguishes itself by allowing configurations to be written in TypeScript/JavaScript, Python and Go — no markup language or templating required. Pulumi is tightly focused on cloud-native architectures — including containers, serverless functions and data services — and provides good support for Kubernetes. Recently, AWS CDK has mounted a challenge, but Pulumi remains the only cloud-neutral tool in this area.
