What is an open-source cloud development platform? I've read the first 5 paragraphs of the blog post and skimmed through the landing page, I've also clicked on the "38 lines of code" example, and I still don't understand where does this fits. I imagined it was something like Heroku, but I guess I was wrong.
I'll keep trying to understand it, anyway.
- lindydonna 8y ago(I'm a product manager at Pulumi.) Pulumi lets you describe cloud resources using code instead of a config language. It's not like Heroku, it's more like a deployment tool (e.g. Serverless Framework, Terraform, Claudia.js, Chalice, etc). The difference compared to other deployment tools is that you use regular code, but it's turned into a declarative plan when you run `pulumi update`. So, you get the benefits of a regular programming language, while still following best practices of immutable infrastructure. Does that help?
