This is the second post in a series about performance optimizations we’ve made to the Pulumi CLI and SDKs. In this post, we’ll go deep on a performance improvement we made for Pulumi Python programs. You can read more about Amazing Performance in the first post in the series.
We’ve been hearing feedback from our customers that they need ways to manage permissions for their stacks at scale. Today we are announcing a --teams flag for pulumi stack init, which allows customers to assign Teams to stacks from the CLI. This flag offers a third programmatic method for assigning permissions, supplementing Pulumi Service REST API or the Pulumi Service Provider. Developers can now initialize their stacks with the right permissions directly from the CLI.
This is the first post in a series about performance optimizations we’ve made to the Pulumi CLI. Over the last six months at Pulumi, the Platform Team has been working on a project we call “Amazing Performance.” Amazing Performance is a new initiative to improve the throughput and latency of the Pulumi CLI not only for power users but for everyone. By the end of June 2022, we assembled a list of issues containing both high-value improvements requiring a sizable investment and low-hanging fruit for quick wins. The full list, including the items we have yet to tackle, is contained in a tracking issue on GitHub. This blog series will cover the highlights.
