hey <@U01VD7VFNUF>, we are working on documenting the service API, but I wonder if you can achieve the same thing using the automation API?

It has all of the outputs you might need available as an SDK. I can give you a demo if needed

Hi <@UCWG26BH7>. Thanks very much for reaching out!
I found that it is possible to achieve the desired result using the Automation API.

Short feedback:
This was a little hard to find because from the documentation it seems like the automation API is intended to be used as a drop-in replacement to the Pulumi CLI. Because of this I initially thought that I might need to have it running from within the same folder where my Pulumi stacks are(i.e., TypeScript modules). At the end I found out that I can just pass an empty program as an argument(i.e., a no-op lambda function).

And I’ll be happy to have a short demo if your able to do so :slightly_smiling_face: It is always good to broaden your horizons.. the Pulumi team can tell best how it is recommended to use Pulumi in automation
