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.

Pulumi Community

There are _no_ extra IaC features in the paid versions. The paid versions are for supporting services. They handle things like storing and viewing your state and deployments, they make secret management easier, and more nice-to-haves like that.

You can do everything yourself if you manage it yourself. Pulumi changes to manage it securely for you.

It's also pretty easy to migrate to and from the paid versions later,  after you've determined that the Pulumi IaC features are the right ones for you.
