Pulumi: Infrastructure as Code with Real Programming Languages
<p>Follow Priya Raman, the first platform engineer at medical-imaging startup Alderleaf Diagnostics, as she replaces console clicks and a brittle shell script with real infrastructure-as-code written in Python. Across three hands-on lessons you will scaffold a Pulumi project with pulumi new, provision S3 buckets using genuine loops and conditionals to prove why a real programming language beats a narrow DSL, separate dev, staging, and production with Pulumi stacks and pulumi config (including encrypted secrets and cross-stack references), and finish with a grounded decision framework for when Pulumi genuinely wins over Terraform and when Terraform still makes more sense.</p>
Tools: pulumi, iac, python, typescript
