Hello, I just discovered Pulumi. I am trying to figure out how to use it instead of serverless framework. However I am not too keen on the blending of the infrastructure and application code. Is there a way to have pulumi handle bundling and the setting up of the function but the application code live inside a separate file. \

Yep - see examples like: https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/master/aws-ts-serverless-raw/index.ts#L53

Very cool, since serverless handles the bundling of the application prior to deploying it, is there a process or tool to have pulumi do the same?

The code there more or less does that already - the

AssetArchive

you see there builds an archive from code in the filesystem, and this will be incremental (if there are no diffs on the filesystem, there will not be a diff on this resource and the Lambda will not need to be redeployed). There is somewhat less "middleware" in this process - for example, we don't have a built-in mechanism to kick off a build prior to packaging, etc. That's something that would be really nice to add as a library on top of this.

Do you have a plugin system or hooks into any middleware process now if I develop something that can package the app prior to deployment? I use serverless for everything now, but the giant YAML files with a mix of cloudformation is so frustrating. Pulumi seems to be in the perfect spot to solve this if I can solve for the packaging problem.
