Is there any documentation/guidance about bringing up a new language runtime?

@adventurous-jordan-10043 I believe your issue may be one that we've fixed recently. If possible, would you be willing to create a quick issue over at pulumi/pulumi on this? i can try to look soon to see: 1. if we've fixed this. 2. if not, how you might workaround this issue.

I believe it may be: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/pull/1359/

however, that was fixed a while back. so i woudl have hoped it would have made it into whatever release you are using.

@lemon-spoon-91807 I will try to repro in a separate repo, I'm using pulumi@latest

This is the workflow I'm trying to implement because I have this kind of code architecture in my current serverless framework project. I'm sad because it seems that the import('./bin/...') hack is not even working anymore.

I'm currently refactoring to use something more like the cloud.Table component. Btw, I think that if cloud.Table accepted aws.dynamodb.table.TableArgs instead of hardcoding things for the table creation, it would be more flexible no ?

Thanks!

one of the ideas behind cloud.Table is that it is decoupled from things like dynamo. so we wouldn't want to expose dynamo-specific stuff to it

lemon-spoon-91807

for example, cloud.Table will work on Azure, GCP, and other platforms (actual work to do this upcoming) 🙂

if there are knobs you'd like though, let us know. if it woudl make sense across any cloud provider, we could def add!

I'm talking about the aws cloud table https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-cloud/blob/master/aws/table.ts

adventurous-jordan-10043

07/19/2018, 9:00 AM

This one is already aws specific nope ?

Referencing other modules (even my own code) inside a lambda seems fine (apart from the necessary './bin' hack + the use of import() inside the lambda). Trying to reference my own code inside one of my own module is currently not supported I think. I tried many alternative layouts but basically if I have customModule1 which imports customModule2 and my lambda only has a dep on customModule1 then customModule2 is never present in the final Lambda code.

I'm also wondering what are the different ways for Pulumi to discover cloud resources to deploy. ATM, I'm forced to import code in index.ts. Is there another mechanism I'm missing ?

stocky-spoon-28903

Is there a good way to keep my own key-value pairs in a checkpoint? Perhaps in a custom resource or something

lemon-spoon-91807

07/19/2018, 6:20 PM

@adventurous-jordan-10043 Gotcha

lemon-spoon-91807

07/19/2018, 6:20 PM

This is the aws specific impl of the cloud API

lemon-spoon-91807

07/19/2018, 6:20 PM

but the idea is that you don't use this type directly

lemon-spoon-91807

07/19/2018, 6:21 PM

you just say: new cloud.Table

lemon-spoon-91807

07/19/2018, 6:21 PM

and if you are targetting the aws cloud, it would use that

stocky-spoon-28903

07/19/2018, 6:22 PM

Are there other implementations of cloud.Table yet?

stocky-spoon-28903

07/19/2018, 6:22 PM

Just wondering if the idea of it being generic will hold up

lemon-spoon-91807

07/19/2018, 6:23 PM

definitely a concern we share 🙂

lemon-spoon-91807

07/19/2018, 6:23 PM

i would say that "cloud" is an area of very open design

lemon-spoon-91807

07/19/2018, 6:24 PM

in oher words, it may change a lot of as figure things out 🙂

lemon-spoon-91807

07/19/2018, 6:24 PM

for now, i think a lot of our earlier goals are to bring a good experience to each individual cloud

lemon-spoon-91807

07/19/2018, 6:25 PM

and from our learnings there, see what can be done cross-cloud
