Setting up an internal developer platform (IDP) can be a daunting task. There are a lot of tools out there that do some of the work for you, but none of them do all of it. Pulumi P3 is no different. Pulumi Patterns & Practices Platform (P3) is a reference architecture that we will be describing, and providing code for, through this series of articles.
In 2025, several trends will dominate cloud computing, driving innovation, efficiency, and scalability. From Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to AI/ML, platform engineering to multi-cloud and hybrid strategies, and security practices, let’s explore the 10 biggest emerging trends.
In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, organizations are increasingly adopting platform engineering to optimize their software delivery and operations. Gartner predicts that by 2026, 80% of large software engineering organizations will have platform engineering teams to provide reusable services, components, and tools for application delivery. Additionally, by 2027, 80% of large enterprises will leverage platform engineering to scale DevOps initiatives in hybrid cloud environments effectively.
This shift is driven by the rise of cloud adoption, where many enterprises face the challenge of uncoordinated application teams deploying workloads in different ways across various cloud platforms. This siloed approach often results in a lack of standardization, security risks, and operational inefficiencies.
Platform engineering offers a strategic solution to these issues. This guide provides the essential steps to successfully implement platform engineering, from laying the foundation to scaling internal developer platforms (IDPs) for future growth.
In the ever-evolving world of automotive technology, BMW has been at the forefront of innovation, seamlessly integrating software into the heart of their vehicles. As cars become increasingly complex, with a growing emphasis on connectivity, over-the-air upgrades, and brand-specific user experiences, the need for a robust and scalable software development approach has become paramount.
Enter the BMW Software Factory, a platform that aims to empower the company’s developers and provide them with a superior development experience. At the core of this initiative is the adoption of Pulumi, a modern infrastructure as code (IaC) solution that has transformed the way BMW manages its software ecosystem.
As leadership teams continue to bet big on AI, the tradeoffs between how much to invest and when to expect a reasonable return are ever-present. While exploring scenarios for accelerating this return on investment, organizations are discovering some unique ways to accelerate their AI payback with Platform Engineering.
As innovation and ROI pressures mount, how are savvy tech organizations using Platform Engineering to get more competitive advantage - and perhaps a quantum leap - from their AI investments?
We are excited to announce the launch of the Pulumi Partner Program, a strategic initiative designed to empower our partners and their customers to accelerate cloud projects and achieve faster time-to-market. This program is crafted for cloud and SaaS companies who are building, integrating, and going to market with Pulumi.

With 62% of large organizations already using multi-cloud (Cloud Computing News), business leaders are looking for their next competitive advantage. Finding these next-gen business edges can be a real challenge, but some innovative organizations are discovering that time to market can be a big competitive lever. They are accelerating their development cycles by up to 70% and seizing opportunities to build new markets, establish new brands and capture market share. This Time To Market (TTM) advantage can apply to entire markets as well as any aspect of your product or service connected to the cloud.
Infrastructure management is all fun and games until you find yourself scrolling through 1000+ resources in your AWS console. Worse, when one rogue product team wants to use Azure and your data team wants to be on GCP, you’re ARM wrestling in Azure and watching your economies of scale tip the wrong direction as you’re copy-pasting CloudFormation templates into yet another git repo. This. Needs. To. Be. A. Platform!
In today’s complex digital landscape, organizations are increasingly turning to platform engineering to optimise their software delivery processes and maximize efficiency. The growing complexity of modern applications, coupled with the need for rapid, secure, and scalable deployments, has created a pressing demand for robust Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs).
IDPs are a key component of modern platform engineering strategies. An IDP is a self-service layer that sits on top of an organization’s infrastructure, abstracting away complexity and providing developers with the tools and environments they need to build, test, and deploy applications efficiently.
