In the introductory blog post, we learned to Create an AI Slack Bot to Chat with Your Data Using Embedchain, Pulumi on AWS, and continued with Adding data to Pinecone using S3, Embedchain, and Pulumi on AWS for an AI Slack bot.

For reference, here’s what our architecture looked like at the end of the second blog post.

To follow along, clone the project, git clone https://github.com/catmeme/arti.git or view it on GitHub.

For many of us, life is suspended between presses of the F5 key. Our IDE is the only place where everything is organized and makes sense. And while we know that the likelihood of a code hole-in-one is very rare (that magical moment where you run your build and everything just works the first time), we always hope that this time, this will be the run where you see the output that lets you know you’ve gotten it right. And in between? Debugging.

Today, we’re excited to announce that the Pulumi open source project has crossed the incredible milestone of 20,000 stars on GitHub. 🎉 This is a huge achievement, and it wouldn’t have been possible without y’all - our incredible global community of developers.

Since its inception, Pulumi’s vision has been rooted in enabling teams to build and manage modern cloud infrastructure using familiar languages and tools. Over the years, your feedback, contributions, and passion have been invaluable in shaping Pulumi into what it is today. Seeing so many developers embrace our modern approach to cloud infrastructure management is really exciting. We are deeply grateful for the trust y’all have placed in us, and we will continue to push the boundaries in how teams manage cloud infrastructure.

We are excited to announce the support for authoring Azure Deployment Environments (ADE) environment definitions in Pulumi Infrastructure as Code (IaC) empowering developers to self-serve app infrastructure required to deploy and test cloud-based applications. With Pulumi support, you can now manage your Azure resources in these environments using the same familiar programming model and the full power of our IaC platform.

We’re excited to announce a new GitHub Action that simplifies the integration of Pulumi’s powerful OpenID Connect (OIDC) Trust feature into your GitHub Actions workflows. This action streamlines secure authentication with Pulumi Cloud, allowing you to leverage GitHub as an identity provider and eliminate the need for long-lived Pulumi access tokens.

When I am talking with community members, who are not using Pulumi yet, I often get asked what would be a good way to include their Infrastructure as Code (IaC) into existing software like a REST API. And my answer is always the same: Use our Pulumi Automation API.

With the Pulumi Automation API you can include Pulumi IaC into your existing software, and this for any of the Pulumi supported programming languages like TypeScript, Python, Go, or C#. This gives you a greater flexibility and control, which you will not have with other IaC tools like CloudFormation or Terraform.

Every experienced tech professional I know has a programming language they love. But is it the syntax and symbols that make it so loveable? Not really. It’s the community and package ecosystem surrounding the language that makes a real impact on your heart… and on your productivity!

When managing many resources with Pulumi, a pulumi up or pulumi destroy can lead to a complex graph of resource operations being performed as concurrently as possible relative to the dependencies in your program. If one of those operations fails, you may have noticed that Pulumi takes the most conservative approach, letting already in-flight operations complete, but not starting any new operations. Most often, that’s what you want – there might be no point in bringing up more infrastructure if a resource fails.

However, in some cases it can be useful to keep going to try to bring resources that are independent from the failed one into the requested state, be that resources being created or destroyed. For example, when doing a pulumi destroy, you may want to have Pulumi destroy as many resources as it can, without stopping when the first error occurs.

You can now do exactly that with the new --continue-on-error flag for pulumi up and pulumi destroy.

Today we announce our annual PulumiUP virtual conference taking place on September 18, 2024. PulumiUP is our global cloud and IaC conference for anyone interested in infrastructure as code, cloud, AI, platform engineering, DevOps, and cloud culture. Every year, we strive to build a program packed with technical talks, demos, and best practices to empower you with new learnings and inspiration that you can apply in your professional life. Attend to hear from industry leaders, experts, and community peers.

Our users are always telling us (particularly the ones who come to Pulumi from other IaC tools) that being able to use general-purpose languages to manage their infrastructure was a game changer for them.

I know it was for me. As a JavaScript developer, when I discovered Pulumi and saw that I could do pretty much everything I was doing with Terraform but with TypeScript, I was immediately hooked; that’s all it took. Just being able to write my resource declarations in a language I knew well (and that my IDE understood) was huge.
