Last Wednesday, Pulumi HQ in Seattle hosted the July Pulumi Up meetup, bringing together local community members for networking, pizza, and presentations by Pulumi engineers. Despite not being able to attend in person due to travel issues, Paul Stack delivered a remote talk titled "Application code isn't the only code that can have APIs," highlighting how programming languages aid in creating infrastructure code and demonstrating a Pulumi program for an RDS instance. Matt Ellis, the Pulumi API team lead, followed with a presentation on "Automating your troubles away with Webhooks and Pulumi," showcasing a bot he developed using GitHub Webhooks and Pulumi to maintain an up-to-date changelog with every pull request. The event concluded with further networking, discussions, and an invitation to join future meetups or watch the recorded talks on the Pulumi TV YouTube Channel.
