Question

Hi I m just ramping up on Pulumi and using the Java SDK actually via the Kotlin wrapper and am trying to understand the normal steps of publishing a Java SDK for a provider For instance the Terraform bridge provider seems to by default not include Java Which seems surprising My immediate question is around actually publishing a Java SDK for the third party Cockroach DB provider which IIUC is generating it just not publishing it see it publishing the other SDKs here

And underlying question I have is what effort does every provider do when a new language SDK wants to be added to Pulumi e g if say C++ was desired I think that would help me understand how it works

It s a bit convoluted process and works in an inverted direction than what you think Providers expose schema json files and each language SDK has it s own codegen that generates provider packages in said language out of these files

By the way you mentioned Kotlin wrapper do you mean <https github com VirtuslabRnD pulumi kotlin>

I think the general direction Pulumi team is taking disclaimer I m not a Pulumi team member I lead pulumi scala team at VirtusLab is that code generators are going to be usable from language plugins so the whole mess with static setup and code generation will go away and generating a provider will be as easy as calling the language plugin s codegen capability against a schema json file

That does seem like a nicer world with some layers of cacheing to avoid generation too frequently
