Summary

Pulumi aims to empower cloud engineers by integrating advanced software engineering tools through the use of traditional programming languages like Node.js, Python, Go, .NET, and Java. In particular, the Node.js ecosystem has recently seen significant advancements in monorepo tooling, facilitating efficient management of large repositories consisting of multiple smaller projects. Pulumi has enhanced its compatibility with these tools, especially Nx, allowing users to create seamless development workflows by integrating Pulumi’s code-level abstractions, such as Component Resources, within monorepo-based build systems. A detailed example using a monorepo setup demonstrates deploying a website built with Astro to AWS S3, showcasing how Nx manages build and deploy-time dependencies. By leveraging npm workspaces, the example illustrates how Pulumi allows for the co-location of reusable components, infrastructure programs, and application code in a single monorepo, ensuring efficient dependency management and deployment processes.
