03/21/2020, 11:18 PMWhat do you do when you want to learn something new, have to stay indoors all day, and have a few K8s manifests lying around?… exactly you build a Pulumi project to deploy an app with
• 5 secrets
• 2 configmaps
• 12 deployments
• 12 services
• 2 nodeports
Built it with TypeScript, because I’d never done that before and I’m kinda pleased with the result 😅

That might reduce the amount of boilerplate code you need to write for kubernetes manifests…

03/23/2020, 11:27 AMThe main use case for them might be building reusable components that you can leverage in other deployments, but I also find it pretty nice to have my resources structured hierarchically in a single pulumi project (without any plans for reusing the components). That also allows to expose a clean pulumi API for each service (e.g.

03/23/2020, 2:51 PMBefore this I only used the Go SDK for Pulumi which doesn’t have component resources yet, so I didn’t know about that. I’ll go check it out! Thanks for the feedback 🙌

03/23/2020, 2:54 PMYep, that’s a bit the downside of multi-language-support. I started with typescript/nodejs as it looked like the language/runtime that is used most widely. And things like kubernetesx were built only for this.
