Hey guys. In my company we are starting to discuss IaC between Developers and DevOps team. From the DevOps side are pushing hard to use Pulumi… and on the other side we are interested on using CDK/SST + CDK8S. We don’t have much serverless stuff at the moment, mostly Kubernetes for the backend and CloudFront for React sites. Anybody using Pulumi or moving away from it? I’m concerned about the focus on “managed solution” that they want to sell to us.

Haven’t tried pulumi myself. But some questions to consider: 1. Do you want to go multicloud one day? Then pulumi or terraform. 2. SST is best with lambdas imo cuz of that fast feedback. I don’t think SST can proxy requests from fargate/ecs like it does for lambdas yet. 3. Letting the true owners own their “stack” helps a lot, but pulumi is an even newer tool. So this may be the biggest red flag. If one or two of your devop engineers leave, will it be maintainable still?
