Our take
The Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) space is expanding rapidly, driven by the increasing complexity of cloud services and the growing adoption of cloud technologies by developers and teams who want to reduce operational overhead. Pulumi works to bring together infrastructure, developer, and security teams to help build and operate cloud applications more efficiently.
The service is compativble with all major clouds and programming languages, providing teams with flexibility and reducing silos that can form with other IaC tools. Pulumi has also expanded its platform to include governance and compliance features, testing support, and policy-as-code, creating a more comprehensive cloud engineering solution for modern workloads. And the platform is trusted by over 3,700 customers worldwide, including Snowflake, Nvidia, and the BMW Group.
Building on this foundation, Pulumi recently launched Pulumi Neo, the industry's first AI agent purpose-built for platform engineering. Neo automates infrastructure tasks end-to-end while respecting enterprise governance, allowing teams to provision, deploy, and manage infrastructure faster and more safely. Early adopters report transformative results, including reducing provisioning time from days to hours, deploying features up to 75% faster, and cutting policy violations by 90%. This combination of AI-driven automation, enterprise-grade controls, and aproven customer base puts Pulumi at the forefront of the cloud engineering market.
