Can anyone recommend a resource to host my own Pulumi state on S3? (so not paying for Pulumi and giving up the nice managed features)

<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/state/#logging-into-the-aws-s3-backend> ?

Yeh you just need an S3 bucket setup. You could use local file state to run Pulumi to create then, then store the rest of your stacks in S3.

I'll I needed to do was scroll down :sweat_smile:

as the other said, you _can_ use an self managed backend, but you’ll lose a lot of the visibility and capabilities from the service. I’d love to try talk to you about using the service instead :slightly_smiling_face:
