Pulumi has announced a $41 million Series C funding round from Madrona Ventures, NEA, Tola Capital, and Strike Capital to fuel further innovation in infrastructure as code technology and expand into new product areas. The company has gained significant traction, with over 2,000 customers, including more than half of the Fortune 50, and a community of over 150,000 end users. Pulumi's unique approach allows developers to use any programming language for infrastructure as code, providing a more flexible and integrated experience that extends beyond traditional infrastructure management. This approach has led to the development of additional tools such as Policy as Code, Testing and CI/CD Automation, and Pulumi Deployments, which offer features like server-side orchestration and AI-driven insights. As Pulumi evolves into a comprehensive enterprise platform, it remains committed to open source principles and aims to democratize cloud access while focusing on security, developer experience, and AI integration. The new funding will support ongoing efforts to enhance the product and expand the community, continuing Pulumi's mission to transform cloud infrastructure management.
