Pulumi offers built-in Dynamic Resource providers which helps with custom RDS cluster deployments
What do you like best about the product?
* Pulumi enables us to define our AWS cloud resources through IaC components which is versioned along with our application code.
* For our infrastructure testing requirements, it provides seamless testing, modularization and CI/CD integrations for our deployments.
* Since Pulumi keeps the metadata of our infrastructure, its easy to manage our cloud resources & we make use of its CLI to create/update/delete the stack state.
* There are no security concerns while running commands through its CLI, Pulumi doesn't store any of our cloud credentials. All configurations & secrets are encrypted by our encryption provider.

What do you dislike about the product?
* We didn't face any inconvenience while using Pulumi as its an open-source IaC platform best suited for our AWS deployments.
* We can easily validate our applications & infrastructure through any native testing frameworks.
* Pulumi Packages promotes reusability of our IaC scripts which saves us a lot of time. Each component is production-ready so we don't have to spend much time on configurations.
* Overall, we are satisfied with the services offered by Pulumi for our cloud infrastructure modularization & deployments.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
* We handle our CI/CD integrations, secret management & resource deployments through Pulumi Cloud platform.
* It offers more flexibility to configure our infrastructure for deployments & the event-based triggers which will update our stacks periodically.
* We utilize its built-in dynamic resource providers to incorporate arbitrary code straight into our Amazon RDS cluster deployment process.
* Further, we can seamlessly integrate various monitoring & observability tools such as Dynatrace, Grafana and Prometheus to gain accurate insights, carry out periodic health checks and keep track of performance & utilization of our cloud resources.

Bridging the gaps between DevOps and R&D
What do you like best about the product?
Pulumi, being the first imperative-based Infrastructure-as-Code tool, has revolutionized the deployment of infrastructure in hyperscalers, making it accessible not only to DevOps engineers but to all engineers. This breakthrough has addressed the challenges faced by DevOps teams, as revealed in the survey conducted by firefly.ai called "State of IaC" (available at https://www.firefly.ai/state-of-iac).
Pulumi (especially Pulumi Cloud) has significantly increased engineering efficiency by streamlining the IaC process, while also simplifying compliance and infrastructure versioning. By reducing the likelihood of downtime or service disruptions, Pulumi aids in troubleshooting infrastructure changes, making it an invaluable asset for organizations striving for optimal performance and reliability.

What do you dislike about the product?
Migrating from Pulumi Cloud to Pulumi OSS can indeed be a challenging task. Pulumi Cloud offers additional features and capabilities that are not available in Pulumi OSS, which can make the transition more complex
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pulumi serves as a bridge between my DevOps team and R&D, allowing seamless communication and collaboration
Pulumi has enabled our team to reproducibly and securely publish our infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
Pulumi enables us to share and import standard infrastructure modules from a shared library, rather than copying and pasting large code chunks. This reduces our cost and maintenance burden in resolving security fixes, because we can fix it centrally and simple re-up our pulumi stacks.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve for pulumi and it's specific implementation of promises can be steep and the number of examples and scenarios they present for promises could be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pulumi allows us to maintain and update our infrastructure programmatically and directly integrates with our existing programming expertise and version control systems.
How much is a "best in class" solution worth?
What do you like best about the product?
Pulumi brings IaC to the next level by allowing to encode your infrastructure in general purpose languages. This is better than alternatives like Terraform which forces the usage of HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL).
What do you dislike about the product?
A year into our subscription with Pulumi, my team was contacted by a Pulumi representative who told us our subscription fee would TRIPLE by the end of the year, reaching 60k-100k annually, despite us signing a contract with them previously. In addition to this, Pulumi's website and CLI can both be very slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pulumi brings programmatic infrastructure as code and manages the state of our stack in the cloud (thus removing the need to backup our state).
