In what context?

I am thinking of using the automation api in an asyncio python program, but am not sure if the api itself is nonblocking

ah, the automation API will work with asyncio

I also think that automation api should work with asyncio. I tried to use aio within the pulumi runtime and run into problems. Please share your findings.

AIO in the Pulumi program would probably work but I think similar functionality is already available due to the output objects that are returned by most function calls. Everything generally runs in parallel unless a blocking function is called. I've had a great experience with using the Automation API by referencing an external Pulumi project via

pulumi.automation.create_or_select_stack

. Here's the example that got me started in that direction. Can definitely AIO from that location.
