Pulumi Development
No DSLs. No YAML. Just code that provisions clouds.
Pulumi means writing TypeScript, Python, or Go instead of learning yet another configuration syntax. Actual functions. Actual types. Actual IDE support. Infrastructure that benefits from decades of software engineering tooling instead of reinventing it poorly.
What We Deliver
Cloud resources defined in code your developers already read. AWS infrastructure as TypeScript with intellisense that knows every property. GCP projects where provisioning logic lives in testable functions. Kubernetes deployments generated programmatically, not templated through string substitution.
We've introduced Pulumi to teams frustrated by Terraform's workarounds for basic programming constructs. We've migrated organizations where YAML sprawl became unmaintainable. We've built infrastructure for products where compile-time validation wasn't optional — it was the whole point.
What we don't push: Pulumi where Terraform fits fine. Infrastructure for teams who've invested years in HCL expertise. Setups so simple that tool choice barely matters. We recommend what works, not what's newest.
Why Us
How We Work
We embed with your team or operate autonomously. Your repositories, your language choices, your deployment workflows — we meet you where you are.
Projects typically start with an honest conversation. Pulumi versus Terraform isn't religious for us. If your team thinks in code and wants infrastructure to follow, Pulumi makes sense. If you have working Terraform and stable processes, migration has costs we'll help you weigh.
We treat infrastructure like production software. Small functions. Meaningful names. Types that explain themselves. Code review that catches issues because reviewers understand what they're reading. Automated tests that fail before bad changes reach clouds.
State gets serious attention. Backend selection, encryption, access controls, locking. Configured correctly from the start because state problems become outages.
Technical Approach
Language Fits Team
TypeScript for JavaScript-native organizations. Python for data and ML shops. Go for teams valuing explicitness. The choice depends on who maintains it long-term.
Types Prevent Entire Categories of Mistakes
Misspelled property? Compiler error. Wrong type for a configuration? Compiler error. Missing required field? Compiler error. Problems found in editors, not in deployment logs.
Secrets Stay Encrypted
Pulumi protects sensitive state values by default. We configure appropriate backends and ensure secrets never leak into logs or repositories.
What We See Go Wrong
Teams adopt Pulumi for language power, then produce tangled imperative code worse than what they escaped. Programming freedom without programming standards creates new problems.
Abstraction addiction follows. Inheritance hierarchies. Factory patterns. Layers of indirection that hide simple resource creation behind architectural astronautics. We've untangled Pulumi projects where nobody could trace what actually got provisioned.
Preview gets skipped. Pulumi shows exactly what will change — create, update, delete. Teams get confident, bypass the check, learn about mistakes from production alerts. We make preview non-negotiable in automation.
Logic creep makes things unpredictable. Pulumi executes during deployment — you can call APIs, transform data, make decisions. Powerful when contained. Confusing when infrastructure behavior depends on external state. We keep provisioning deterministic.
State disasters transcend tools. Concurrent deployments. Missing locks. Corrupted files. Pulumi doesn't prevent these; good practices do. We establish them early.
Who We Work Well With
Teams where developers own their infrastructure — where artificial walls between "app people" and "infra people" slow everyone down.
Organizations that tried Terraform and found HCL frustrating. Who wanted a for loop and got count with index arithmetic. Who needed conditionals and got ternary expressions in strings. Pulumi often clicks where Terraform created friction.
Both share: comfort with programming languages, belief that infrastructure deserves engineering rigor, preference for partnership over handoff.
Who We're Not For
If Terraform serves you well — actually well, not just present — migration costs are real. We'll help you evaluate, not pressure you to switch.
If declarative purity matters — where infrastructure should describe end state without procedural logic — Pulumi's flexibility feels risky. That's legitimate. Terraform's constraints might be features for your context.
If the team doesn't code — Pulumi's value requires programming fluency. For teams new to infrastructure tooling entirely, Terraform's narrower surface might be easier to start with.
