Pulumi
Infrastructure as Code using Python, TypeScript, Go, Java, and .NET
What it does well
- Multi-language support enables teams to use familiar programming languages
- Strong testing and validation capabilities built into the language itself
- Excellent code reuse through libraries, classes, and package managers
- Comprehensive provider support across 100+ cloud services and platforms
Where it falls short
- Steeper learning curve for operations teams without programming background
- Smaller community and ecosystem compared to Terraform
- Pulumi Service pricing model adds costs for state management and advanced features
