Pulumi now handles secrets more efficiently through optimized encryption and decryption processes, reducing deployment times while maintaining security standards. Users of Pulumi Cloud for state management will notice the most improvement due to new batch API capabilities.
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.
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.
