Pulumi has introduced PostgreSQL as a new option for state storage, offering a reliable, scalable, and secure alternative for managing infrastructure as code. This addition caters to organizations requiring robust transactional guarantees and large object support, enhancing the traditional DIY backends that rely on object storage systems like AWS S3 or Google Cloud Storage. Developed through a community-driven process, the PostgreSQL backend integrates with Pulumi's existing architecture, providing features like ACID compliance, deep observability, and performance optimizations while maintaining Pulumi's simplicity. Although it requires additional operational overhead, it addresses a longstanding community request and aligns with Pulumi’s architectural patterns and coding standards. The PostgreSQL option enhances Pulumi's offerings, providing enterprises with enterprise-grade state storage while enabling future enhancements such as high availability, performance optimizations, and multi-tenant support.
