Pulumi + Azure Series: A Developer’s Perspective

We live in an era where news and data are everywhere — instantly available, constantly updated, and often overwhelming. In software circles, every tool has its own fan base, community, stack of blog posts, and even full-blown evangelists. Yet somehow, Pulumi has always felt a bit underappreciated to me. Maybe it’s because it’s not as widely adopted as Terraform, or maybe because it’s relatively young. Either way, I’ve felt a growing urge to share how genuinely powerful it is — especially when combined with Azure, the cloud I work with the most. Pulumi isn’t limited to Azure, of course. It has great support for AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, and many other providers. But for this series, we’ll be focusing on real-world scenarios in Azure, because that’s where I’ve spent most of my time, and where Pulumi has truly helped me streamline and modernize how I build infrastructure.
