Pulumi is an open-source Infrastructure as Code tool that allows developers to define cloud infrastructure using general-purpose programming languages (TypeScriptStatically typed superset of JavaScript - provides type safety and better tooling support for large JavaScript codebases., Python, Go, C#) rather than domain-specific configuration languages such as HCL (TerraformOpen source tool for Infrastructure as Code - defines cloud infrastructure in declarative configuration files.). Pulumi compiles the code into a resource graph and ensures that the cloud platform matches the defined state. Pulumi is an alternative to Terraform, and is particularly popular in teams with a strong software engineering background.
