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

I don’t know what you mean by “within a resource” but if you invoke your Pulumi update via automation api than you can subscribe to engine events so you can watch for create or update events against specific resources
