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.

Ooh, thank you both!

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 🙂
