Verdict
Pulumi brings infrastructure-as-code into the world of real programming languages. Instead of learning HCL, you write TypeScript, Python, Go, or C# — with full IDE support, type checking, and standard testing frameworks. For teams that want the benefits of IaC without the constraints of a custom DSL, Pulumi provides a modern alternative to Terraform with the Apache 2.0 license that Terraform lost.
