Our take
The Infrastructure-as-code space is new and growing, thanks to the increasing complexity of cloud services, and their increasing adoption by developers and teams who would rather not manage them. Pulumi works to bring together infrastructure, developer, and security teams to help build and operate these cloud applications, better.
The service is compatible with all clouds and all major programming languages, meaning it’s casting its net appropriately wide to shore itself up against unpredictable new developments in the market. This breadth of scope saw Pulumi win 10x growth in adoption over 2019 alone, and the company has since expanded out into what it hopes will provide a more comprehensive cloud engineering platform. This means the addition of capabilities like governance and compliance features, testing support, and policy as code - all shoring up its already strong position in the space.
Also playing firmly in Pulumi’s favor is that it’s been built as cloud-native from the ground up, meaning that it has a head start on earlier infrastructure-as-code businesses that needed to pivot to accommodate new developments like serverless and multi-cloud tech. Plus, its multi-language compatibility means that silos don’t form so readily as they do with rival HashiCorp’s Terraform, which requires that developers learn a proprietary language.
