Question here on Pulumi Deployments. Is this intended to as an alternative existing CI/CD tools or does Pulumi view this Deployments feature as being used in-addition-to the existing CI/CD tools? (Context: we're currently employing CircleCI for CI/CD and use it to automatically deploy our pulumi based IaC)

Pulumi Deployments is a toolkit. While it does include CI/CD integration, it doesn't need to replace your existing CI/CD setup if you are happy with it.

Setting up CI/CD can be hard - and `git push` to deploy can be set up with just a few clicks.

In addition, Deployments offers a lot of other features in addition to `git push` like click to deploy, the REST API, and Remote Automation API.

In the future we'll be adding more features to the Deployments toolkit like builtin drift detection, and TTL stacks. So Deployments will continue to provide value to you no matter what tool you choose for CI/CD.

thanks for the additional info <@UQ8K13T7X>
