Node-grpc should not have to build on every run. What version/platform are you seeing that for? If use use an LTS, you should get pre-built binaries.

More broadly - I’m surprised this is adding a non-trivial amount of time to your build. It is definitely standard practice for Pulumi and for Node more generally to run npm install in CI. If this is taking more than ~30 seconds, something else seems like it’s probably wrong.

Recommended script in docs installs everything including node. If we use docker pulumi/pulimi image, then you can see for yourself, it is much more than 30 seconds:
No matter how you like to participate in developer communities, Pulumi wants to meet you there. If you want to meet other Pulumi users to share use-cases and best practices, contribute code or documentation, see us at an event, or just tell a story about something cool you did with Pulumi, you are part of our community.
