Hi, what is the best / easiest way to analyze performance problems in pulumi. I have a small stack deploying AWS SSO and roles and it seems to be taking a lot of time. I’d like to know what is the problem. PS we are using selfhosted s3 backend.

I'll check our runs, but some of the AWS SSO APIs are just very slow

Pulumi does a lot of roundtrips between state and the backend. The S3 backend is notoriously slow If you run with

PULUMI_SKIP_CHECKPOINTS=true

it’ll be much quicker https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/10668

Yah, I am aware of a lot of round trips - I was wondering if this would be faster without file based backend, are there any public docs on how this works? I’ve been always wondering what was the reason.

I was considering implementing my own backend as a side project just for fun
