Pulumi has introduced Bun as a new package manager option for its users, offering a faster alternative to npm, Yarn, or pnpm for managing project dependencies. Bun, a JavaScript runtime and toolkit, acts as a direct replacement for NodeJS and boasts significantly faster installation times, reportedly up to 25 times quicker than npm. Pulumi utilizes Bun solely as a package manager, requiring version 1.2 or higher, and does not support Bun for writing Automation API-based applications. Users can easily integrate Bun into both new and existing projects by selecting it during project setup and adjusting configuration files accordingly. Bun has also been integrated into the pulumi/pulumi container, enhancing CI/CD pipelines by speeding up package installations. As Bun continues to establish itself within the JavaScript ecosystem, it offers an appealing option for developers seeking efficiency in managing Pulumi project dependencies.
