We had a similar understanding but the aws cdk doesn't have the pulumi automation api layer equivalent and relies on cli etc.

welcome <@U05EQGQB3FZ>! I wouldn’t say it’s an alternative :slightly_smiling_face: it’s a different model. Here’s some similarities:

• both AWS CDK and Pulumi use programming languages to author infrastructure
differences:

• Pulumi supports multiple cloud providers
• Pulumi allows you to embed infrastructure provisioning in your own workflows using automation API
• Pulumi doesn’t transpile down a configuration language giving way more flexibility than CDK
• Pulumi is faster than cloudformation :slightly_smiling_face:
