Seattle-based Pulumi<\/a> has quickly made a name for itself as a modern platform that lets developers specify their infrastructure through writing code in their preferred programming language \u2014 and not YAML. With the launch of Pulumi 2.0<\/a>, those languages now include JavaScript, TypeScript, Go and .NET, in addition to its original support for Python. It\u2019s also now extending its reach beyond its core infrastructure features to include deeper support for policy enforcement, testing and more.<\/p>\n

As the company also today announced, it now has over 10,000 users and more than 100 paying customers. With that, it\u2019s seeing a 10x increase in its year-over-year annual run rate, though without knowing the exact numbers, it\u2019s obviously hard to know what exactly to make of that number. Current customers include the likes of Cockroach Labs, <\/a> Mercedes-Benz and Tableau <\/a>.<\/p>\n

When the company first launched, its messaging was very much around containers and serverless. But as Pulumi <\/a> founder and CEO Joe Duffy told me, today the company is often directly engaging with infrastructure teams that are building the platforms for the engineers in their respective companies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As for Pulumi 2.0, Duffy says that \u201cthis is really taking the original Pulumi vision of infrastructure as code \u2014 using your favorite language \u2014 and augmenting it with what we\u2019re calling superpowers.\u201d That includes expanding the product\u2019s overall capabilities from infrastructure provisioning to the adjacent problem spaces. That includes continuous delivery, but also policy-as-code. This extends the original Pulumi vision beyond just infrastructure but now also lets developers encapsulate their various infrastructure policies as code, as well.<\/p>\n

Another area is testing. Because Pulumi allows developers to use \u201creal\u201d programming languages, they can also use the same testing techniques they are used to from the application development world to test the code they use to build their underlying infrastructure and catch mistakes before they go into production. And with all of that, developers can also use all of the usual tools they use to write code for defining the infrastructure that this code will then run on.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe underlying philosophy is taking our heritage of using the best of what we know and love about programming languages \u2014 and really applying that to the entire spectrum of challenges people face when it comes to cloud infrastructure, from development to infrastructure teams to security engineers, really helping the entire organization be more productive working together,\u201d said Duffy. \u201cI think that\u2019s the key: moving from infrastructure provisioning to something that works for the whole organization.\u201d<\/p>\n

Duffy also highlighted that many of the company\u2019s larger enterprise users are relying on Pulumi to encode their own internal architectures as code and then roll them out across the company.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe still embrace what makes each of the clouds special. AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Kubernetes,\u201d Duffy said. \u201cWe\u2019re not trying to be a PaaS that abstracts over all. We\u2019re just helping to be the consistent workflow across the entire team to help people adopt the modern approaches.\u201d<\/p>\n
