About Pulumi
Pulumi is an infrastructure as code platform that lets developers define and manage cloud resources using familiar programming languages like TypeScript, Python, Go, and C#. It supports multi-cloud deployments across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Kubernetes, offering a developer-first alternative to domain-specific IaC tools like Terraform.
