Proactively send alerts with Pulumi
Blog post from New Relic
Utilizing New Relic with Pulumi allows for proactive monitoring of applications, enabling the resolution of issues before they impact customers by creating and sharing alerts with teams. The article provides a tutorial on using Pulumi, an infrastructure as code (IaC) framework that supports various programming languages, to manage cloud resources and create alerts with New Relic. It compares Pulumi with Terraform, highlighting that while both are open-source IaC tools, Pulumi allows the use of popular programming languages, unlike Terraform, which requires learning the HashiCorp Configuration Language. The choice between the two largely depends on user preference for language flexibility versus familiarity with a vendor-specific language. The blog also includes a guide for setting up alerts using Pulumi, TypeScript, and Node.js, emphasizing the integration of observability into cloud environments.
