@pulumi/pulumi
Advanced tools
The Pulumi Node.js SDK lets you write cloud programs in JavaScript.
Using npm:
$ npm install --save @pulumi/pulumi
Using yarn:
$ yarn add @pulumi/pulumi
This SDK is meant for use with the Pulumi CLI. Visit Pulumi's Download & Install to install the CLI.
For anybody who wants to build from source, here is how you do it.
This SDK uses Node.js and we support any of the Current, Active and Maintenance LTS versions. We support both NPM and Yarn for package management.
At the moment, we only support building on macOS and Linux, where standard GNU tools like make are available.
To build the SDK, simply run make from the root directory (where this README lives, at sdk/nodejs/ from the repo's
root). This will build the code, run tests, and install the package and its supporting artifacts.
At the moment, for local development, we install everything into $HOME/.dev-pulumi. You will want this on your $PATH.
The tests will verify that everything works, but feel free to try running pulumi preview and/or pulumi up from
the examples/minimal/ directory. Remember to run tsc first, since pulumi expects JavaScript, not TypeScript.
Terraform by HashiCorp is another popular IaC tool that allows you to define and provision infrastructure using a declarative configuration language. Unlike Pulumi, which uses general-purpose programming languages, Terraform uses its own domain-specific language (HCL). Terraform has a large ecosystem and strong community support.
The AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) is an open-source software development framework to define cloud infrastructure in code and provision it through AWS CloudFormation. Similar to Pulumi, AWS CDK allows you to use familiar programming languages, but it is specific to AWS services.
The Serverless Framework is a tool for building and deploying serverless applications. It focuses on serverless architectures and supports multiple cloud providers. While it shares some similarities with Pulumi in terms of deployment and management, it is more specialized in serverless use cases.
