Question

Can anyone tell me if it s possible to use Pulumi within a Go application without having to use the `pulumi` cli commands I d like to use it as part of a larger application but can t seem to find any documentation on how or even if it s possible

It s not currently possible but something we re hoping to enable soon Please follow <https github com pulumi pulumi issues 3901> and add any additional context on your use case there

In the meantime you could wrap the `pulumi` cli in your application but the issue I linked is focused on making this a first class programmatic interface

Ah that s a shame It s the sole reason we looked at using Pulumi over Terraform disappointed

Is the CLI output machine readable enough for that to be reliable We re looking at building a service that ll manage Kubernetes clusters and underlying infrastructure for many many teams over as many different AWS accounts so needs to be able to handle failures

gentle-diamond-70147 · Answer

The resulting state file from a `preview` or `up` is machine readable as JSON so could certainly be handled programmatically

huge +1 to this I assumed this was already in place too considering you have a programmatic model

Just wanted to follow up and mention that we merged the first PR for the Automation API Go SDK It s in alpha and there will be mostly additive breaking changes in the coming weeks There are complete godocs here that you can check out In addition there are still a bunch of holes that we ll be plugging over the next few weeks Here s a list of known issues that we re tracking If you d like to try it out you ll need to as there are CLI changes We ll cut a CLI release early next week that will make it easier to try all of this out I ll be updating with instructions and a call for feedback early next week but I thought I d let ya ll know in the mean time in case you re eager to kick the tires If the feedback on the design is positive we ll follow up with all of the supported pulumi languages
