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

There are a couple of tools in the Pulumi toolbox that are worth exploring:
The automation API (<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/guides/automation-api/|https://www.pulumi.com/docs/guides/automation-api/>) would enable any orchestration across stacks. And let you run other clients in between.
The command provider (<https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/command/api-docs/provider/|https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/command/api-docs/provider/>) allows you to run “external” code as part of the Pulumi project code and enables running scripts during destroy as well as update.


this is precisely what i was looking for - was unable to find any mention of it in my googling
