Hello. Just starting a new K8S/microservice project with Pulumi. How do I set it up so that I have three stacks (local, test, prod), where state for local is somehow stored on each engineer's system (preferably in the project root), but test and prod are in Pulumi Cloud? Is that the appropriate way to do it? (edited)

I assume the "local" stack is independent for each developer and they deploy against a local target (or an environment exclusively owned by them)? And the developers are not deploying to test and prod from their local machines?

Yes. They would deploy locally to Kind. So, the best way to do this would be separate projects?

The developers locally

pulumi login

to their file system, while your test/prod deployment workflows

pulumi login

to Pulumi Cloud. Usually, you'd store the backend config in the

Pulumi.yaml

file that defines the Pulumi project, but if I read the docs correctly, you don't have to do that. So you can share one

Pulumi.yaml

project configuration with everyone and don't need to maintain two different versions of the file as I initially assumed.
