Hi All. First of all, I want to appreciate your great effort at Pulumi. I'm using it in my project. It's great :). I have a question about the correlation between component resources and parallel execution.

pulumi up

has flat

--parallel

available. Does it make sense to use component resources with this flag set to 3-4 to speed up the deployment of the resources? Currently, we are not using the Component Resources, but I'm wondering if this could help optimize deployment time. At the moment, it's around 8 minutes. I wish to cut it by at least a few minutes because, soon, we would like to set gitops pipelines.

Hello @adamant-football-558, thanks for the kind words on Pulumi! Regarding the

--parallel

flag, the default value is

unlimited

which means we try to perform as much as possible concurrently. If you set a value yourself, you are actually reducing the number of resources our engine will provision concurrently. When resources do not have any dependencies on each other, Pulumi will provision these concurrently. When you pass the output of one resource as an input to another resource, you create a dependency and Pulumi will provision the first resource before the other resource. The

dependsOn

resource option makes a similar dependency.

Hey @limited-rainbow-51650, thanks for the response.

-> so no change here 🙂

-> here I might work on the diagram then 🙂 thanks again
