An Intellyx Brain Candy Update
When we last covered Pulumi in April 2020, it was rolling out its open-source infrastructure-as-code (IaC) provisioning platform.
In the intervening time, the company has matured its IaC platform, adding AI capabilities to support developer productivity.
Today, Pulumi differentiates itself from competing IaC platforms with its polyglot approach, supporting different languages for crafting IaC scripts.
In fact, Pulumi combines support for imperative languages for flexible programmability on top of its declarative core, which gives its customers the ‘cattle, not pets’ approach to immutable infrastructure that is necessary for making IaC both scalable and maintainable.
More recently, Pulumi has been adding multi-cloud deployment capabilities, AI-supported search and analytics insights, as well as support for flexible, user-defined environments.
Pulumi also offers deployment observability as well as supporting customers’ platform engineering efforts, making the platform difficult to categorize.
Pulumi’s software is open-source, while its commercial offering is a cloud-based, managed implementation of its platform.
