🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Defining both application and infrastructure code in the same language and repository
- Creating complex, dynamic infrastructure based on application logic
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Teams preferring a simpler, declarative-only DSL (Terraform's HCL may be better)
- Environments where installing language runtimes is prohibited
🏆 Alternatives
Unlike Terraform's DSL, Pulumi allows for greater expressiveness and the use of existing software engineering tools (IDEs, test frameworks, package managers) for infrastructure.
