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.

Automation API allows writing arbitrary logic as a part of your updates. You can do all sorts of post deployment steps such as database migrations, liveness checks, etc.

This is only available as an alpha in the Go SDK for the time being: <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/3901#issuecomment-685803282>

We plan on delivering across languages after the alpha and feedback period. If this is something you'd be interested in please let us know.

This example synchronously retrieves outputs from the program (in this case a URL of the website) after the deployment completes. You could imagine writing an http get in a retry loop afterwards for your readiness check:

Nice! this is really interesting, thanks!
