Cool

What do you like best about the product?
Allow the TDDers to write automation tests, even IaC code can be tested!

What's more the secret as code is made possible and it's safer than SOPS. (It's harder to make mistakes than with SOPS).
What do you dislike about the product?
Cognitive load is somewhat higher than expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secret as code is hard. We used SOPS before, but sometimes, we made mistakes, such as forgetting to encrypt them before pushing them to the code repo.

The Pulumi helped us prevent that and forced us always to push the secret as encrypted.

Also it's hard to TDD the IaC code, with Pulumi, it's possible!

A new approach for Infra-As-Code, much more closer to "as-code" than yaml oriented tools

  • January 30, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Pulumi is an awesome tool to easily manage Infra-as-code with a new approach more based on code than yaml like its competitors.

Being able to use my favorite langage to manage my infrastructure is really useful.

Onboarding to Pulumi is made easy thank to the complete documentation and a large community to answer any question
What do you dislike about the product?
What is currently not yet covered at 100% is that some SDKs are not available in all supported langages.
But thanks to the great community it's improving very fast
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Implementing Infra-as-code with a real "as-code" approach based on your favorite development langage rather than using yaml files.

It's really easier for dev team to onboard and work with Pulumi to manage their infrastructure

I'm a Pulumi employee now, but I was a Pulumi user first

  • September 05, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I switched to Pulumi in 2019, when I got frustrated with trying to embed any sort of logic into my Terraform configurations. I found Pulumi's approach of using a general purpose programming language made a lot more sense to me. What I like most about Pulumi is that I'm not only solving business problems through infrastructure as code, but I'm also building skill and experience in a programming language. That's transferable and reusable knowledge that adds value to my career.
What do you dislike about the product?
As someone with an infrastructure/operations background, the learning curve of using a general purpose programming language (I started with TypeScript and later switched to Golang) can be a bit challenging if you don't already know or aren't already familiar with the language. That's not Pulumi's fault; that's just the nature of learning a programming language. The Pulumi documentation needs improvement, but otherwise I haven't run into any issues or problems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pulumi is an infrastructure as code (IaC) solution, designed to allow users to implement IaC using a general purpose programming language. As an IaC solution, Pulumi helps automate the deployment of cloud infrastructure to support applications running on the cloud. I can write a Pulumi program to deploy cloud resources, and then easily provision and destroy those resources with a single command. My Pulumi programs are stored in version control, so I can easily test changes before committing them, or rollback to a previous configuration. Through the use of pull requests and code reviews, I can collaborate with teammates on infrastructure changes before those changes are implemented.

Pulumi offers built-in Dynamic Resource providers which helps with custom RDS cluster deployments

  • August 23, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

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.

What do you like best about the product?
Best thing about Pulumi is the versatility that it has and the number of integrations to build cloud native applications, this tool makes the difference with the speed, best tool for our team

Pulumi need more templates or examples to guide non senior teams into the adoption of the platform, Pulumi should create more guides in order to potentially increase adoption
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have solved microservices, serverless architectures and event driven patterns, MLOps and Data Pipelines with this tooling, and it was very fast.

Bridging the gaps between DevOps and R&D

  • July 18, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

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
