Hey, had a question regarding Pulumi state files, I know that Gitlab offers TF state provider, is there a similar mechanism currently for Pulumi or any workaround for using gitlab as a backend for storing Pulumi states ?

Use local file storage and commit it to git?

<@U012UJTT55M> Yes i initially thought about that but though there might a better mechanism. Thanks :saluting_face:

<@U08HY8R0UJC> I'm curious what you are trying to achieve. I think the answer to both of your questions is yes. For managing state there are the state commands. <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/iac/cli/commands/pulumi_state/#see-also|pulumi state | Pulumi Docs>. For alternate backends: <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/iac/concepts/state-and-backends/#deciding-on-a-state-backend>  and then for possibly using gitlab as the backend. <https://docs.gitlab.com/administration/object_storage/|Object storage | GitLab Docs>
