Feature Flagging for Your Infrastructure

Feature Flagging for Your Infrastructure

One of Pulumi’s foundational benefits is that it allows you to manage your infrastructure as software with rich programming languages, robust testing, and CI/CD patterns that you’d use with your application code. This post will cover applying another classic software development technique to your infrastructure: feature flagging. You can use feature flags to control change rollout, reduce the risk of new releases, and speed up the development of your infrastructure, the same way you do with your applications.

The examples in this post range from simply creating a flag and using it in a Lambda function to fully integrating with LaunchDarkly to build a comprehensive flagging system for your infrastructure.

Announcing Snowflake Dynamic and Rotated Credentials with Pulumi ESC

Announcing Snowflake Dynamic and Rotated Credentials with Pulumi ESC

Snowflake is the data cloud powerhouse for countless businesses, critical for everything from customer dashboards to billing pipelines. The stakes are immense: this data must be strictly secured and always available. But managing this with static credentials or manual key rotation creates persistent security vulnerabilities and introduces operational instability, risking disruptions during clumsy updates. Pulumi ESC eliminates this dilemma with two purpose-built Snowflake integrations:

  1. snowflake-login: Provides dynamic, short-lived OIDC tokens for temporary authentication to Snowflake.
  2. snowflake-user: Automates the rotation of RSA keypair secrets for Snowflake users, essential for secure key-pair authentication.

Introducing Automated Database Credential Rotation for PostgreSQL and MySQL in Pulumi ESC

Introducing Automated Database Credential Rotation for PostgreSQL and MySQL in Pulumi ESC

Securing access to critical data stores is paramount in today’s cloud-native world. Yet, managing database credentials often involves static, long-lived passwords – a significant security blind spot. These static secrets, frequently embedded in application configurations or accessible to multiple team members, represent a prime target for attackers. Manually rotating these credentials is a cumbersome, error-prone task that’s often neglected, leaving databases vulnerable for extended periods. Building on our commitment to robust secrets management, we are excited to launch Automated Database Credential Rotation for PostgreSQL and MySQL in Pulumi ESC!
