Summary

Pulumi's introduction of the cloud.HttpServer API allows developers to serve Node.js HTTP servers as serverless APIs across multiple cloud platforms, combining Node.js's robust ecosystem with the operational simplicity of serverless architecture. This API maintains the familiar structure of Node.js applications, enabling developers to easily integrate existing middleware like Express.js while facilitating deployment across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud without needing platform-specific code. By translating cloud-specific inputs and outputs to match Node.js's expectations, Pulumi simplifies the creation of cloud applications, allowing the same codebase to be used across different cloud providers. Currently available for AWS and Azure, with Google Cloud support forthcoming, this feature aims to streamline cloud application development within the Pulumi framework, offering a seamless and unified experience for developers accustomed to Node.js's flexibility.
