Never Miss What Your Infrastructure Is Telling You

Plenty happens in a Pulumi organization while you’re looking somewhere else. Neo finishes a task you kicked off just before taking lunch. A teammate submits an ESC change request that needs your approval before it can land. Until now, catching any of that meant either keeping the right tab open or hoping the right email reached you.

Today we’re introducing the Notification Center: a single inbox in the Pulumi Cloud console for the things that actually need you. It lives behind the bell in the sidebar, with a dot when something’s waiting. Notifications arrive in real time — no refresh — and each one carries exactly one action: Review request, View task, Update billing. Click it and you land on the page where you can do the thing, not on a dashboard where you have to go find it.

What you’ll hear about

We’ve started with the moments where being a few minutes late actually costs you something: a Neo task that’s paused waiting on your approval, a Neo task that’s finished, an ESC change request waiting on your sign-off, and billing conditions like a locked organization or a trial that’s about to end. Relevant people in your organization will be notified when there’s a pending approval, or billing alert. Nobody gets paged for someone else’s work.

Where you’ll hear about it

Every notification type can be delivered two ways — in the console and over email — and you choose per type, per channel. Organization admins set a sensible baseline for everyone; each person can override it for themselves on their account settings page.

What’s next

The Notification Center is available today. We’re starting with this set of notifications and expanding from there. If there’s an event you’d rather hear about from the bell than from a colleague on Slack, we’d like to know which one.

Introducing Dark Mode for Pulumi Cloud

Pulumi Cloud helps teams manage and operate their cloud infrastructure in one place, from state and secrets to deployments, visibility, and policy enforcement.

For a long time, one request has consistently come up from the Pulumi community: dark mode. Today, we’re announcing that this request is now available in Pulumi Cloud.

Light mode and dark mode

Pulumi Cloud supports light mode and dark mode. You can switch themes at any time from the utility bar.

Below: Pulumi Cloud dashboard in light mode and dark mode

Light mode remains the default experience. Dark mode uses lighter text and UI elements on a darker background, which many users prefer for extended sessions or low-light environments.

This update is enabled by recent work from our User Experience team to introduce a shared design system across Pulumi Cloud. With that foundation in place, theming can now be applied consistently across pages and features.

Dark mode allows you to opt into a theme that uses lighter text and graphics on a darker background. You can also choose to keep the current theme, now known as light mode.

How to enable dark mode

You can update your theme from the utility bar at any time.

Try out dark mode today

Want to try dark mode out for yourself? Sign in to your Pulumi Cloud account, or if you are new to Pulumi, create a free account.

We would love to hear your feedback. You can reach us in the Pulumi Community Slack or share requests in the public GitHub repo.

We look forward to hearing what you think of these changes!
