Pulumi is a tool for building cloud-native infrastructure as code using general-purpose programming languages.

Luke Hoban, CTO of Pulumi, joins Scott on the Full Stack Journey podcast to chat about the tool. You can follow him at @lukehoban on Twitter.

They address a variety of topics, including:

  • What is Pulumi?
  • Why use Pulumi? Why not use existing infrastructure-as-code tools?
  • Is Pulumi still declarative if I’m using a general-purpose programming language?
  • What about optimizing for reusability versus optimizing for readability?
  • Does using Pulumi make getting started with infrastructure-as-code easier or harder?
  • How do folks get acquainted with Pulumi?
