Summary

Pulumi's Cloud Engineering Platform is designed to help organizations adopt cloud engineering best practices by applying software engineering principles to infrastructure management, application development, and security. The platform is increasingly popular across diverse industries and engineering disciplines, as evidenced by the growing number of job postings requiring Pulumi skills. Case studies from Atlassian, SANS Institute, and Skai demonstrate how teams leverage the platform to enhance productivity, reduce maintenance time, streamline deployment processes, and achieve greater agility and innovation. Atlassian's Bitbucket team improved developer productivity and reduced maintenance time by using Python for infrastructure as code, while SANS Institute achieved a 70% reduction in deployment times by replacing inflexible legacy tools with Pulumi. Skai successfully migrated its core monolith service from a data center to AWS, utilizing Python and creating modular infrastructure components for improved collaboration. These examples highlight the platform's ability to simplify complex cloud infrastructure tasks and enable teams to use familiar programming languages and tools to drive business outcomes.
