Summary

Pulumi's vision is to bridge the gap between application developers and infrastructure teams in the cloud by applying successful software engineering practices to cloud infrastructure management, thus promoting creativity and rapid iteration. With the introduction of the pulumi watch command in version 1.5, developers can experience real-time updates to their cloud infrastructure by automatically deploying changes upon saving code, allowing for quick experimentation and learning. This feature is particularly beneficial for serverless and Kubernetes environments, where rapid iteration is crucial. Pulumi watch complements existing tools by facilitating faster development cycles without replacing the need for careful production deployments. Additionally, the integration of infrastructure and application code in development helps dissolve traditional silos, enhancing efficiency and agility in cloud application deployment. Pulumi watch is currently available in preview, aiming to further improve iteration speed, logging capabilities, and integration with other modern infrastructure scenarios.
