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

btw, one question, does the automation API still require the user to download/install the Pulumi CLI first, or is this handled automatically (not-needed?) somehow?

I can see this `await stack.workspace.installPlugin("aws", "v3.6.1");`, this looks promising already.

Current implementation shells out commands to the CLI, so installing a CLI is still required

A community member was publishing the CLI via npm at one point, but it looks like it hasn't been kept up to date.
