You can use the pulumi service or save state locally or use a cloud backed backend <https www pulumi com docs intro concepts state deciding on a backend>

< red match 15116> right but if I want to use the ever ubiquitous AWS S3 then pulumi offers no native concurrency locking

I think we actually did add concurrency locking < billowy army 68599> knows more than me

okay I ll take a look

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

yep you need to set the environment variable ```PULUMI SELF MANAGED STATE LOCKING=1``` We have an open issue to enable this by default <https github com pulumi pulumi issues 6536>

there are lots of good reasons to use the pulumi service other than locking not the least of which is our free tier and it allows us to be a successful company that continues to invest in the product slightly smiling face
