Pulumi Community

Hey team, I am on a typescript compilation speed investigation again and there are some small things which could really make a huge difference to Pulumi projects if people wanted opt in once the underlying issues were fixed.

Is anyone from the team interested in working with me to get these sorted?

<https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/issues/772> and <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/pull/1015> are key PRs to this happening.

I fixed the issues in the AWS sdk ages ago so deep imports now really speed up compilation there. But because Pulumi imports the aws-sdk I can’t get any of those benefits in projects which use Pulumi

As an example of the kinda of improvements you could get. I have a simple project which creates a lambda and a permission.

Commenting out `const sdk: typeof import("aws-sdk");` in awsMixins.d.ts reduces this projects compilation time from 7seconds to 3 seconds on my machine. There are some other pretty big wins too. If I apply the fixes from 772 as well (with some updates) it drops it to ~1.7 seconds.

Hey Jake, so you know we're aware, I posed this in our internal slack
