klotho VS Pulumi

Another project in this space is Klotho. I think it's the only one with broad language support so you can write in Go or Python or JavaScript or Java or C#.

I'm one of the creators of Winglang that is featured there as one of the future 4th gen. tool, along with Eventual, Ampt and Klotho.

Hi everyone, we’ve been working on an adaptive architecture engine as part of the open-source Klotho (github), and are now adding an intelligence layer on top of it we call InfraCopilot that features:

Something like this for example: https://klo.dev/

disclaimer: I'm one of the founders

We're building klotho[0] for many of the reasons mentioned here. (happy to answer questions). We transform plain code to cloud native code. The majority of the complexity is moved into the Klotho compiler, and what devs handle is the simplest bundle that's easy to deploy and operate on public clouds using standard tools.

When I was putting together the pitchdeck for our startup I wanted to search for pitchdeck slides to learn from - but I was looking for specific sections or types of startups for slide decks. To find that one relevant slide, I had to open tens of decks and scroll through them. So I decided to make a tool that would allow me to search inside the decks more easily: SearchTheDeck.com

AWS is heavily invested in its serverless offerings. Every year during re:Invent, they introduce more and more integrations to the already vast toolkit. They know the value serverless brings, specifically for small-to-medium-sized companies. There definitely is a tipping point, where serverless becomes more expensive to run than a more traditional serverful setup, but for most companies, it's at the scale of large enterprises; we're talking a couple of thousand requests per second scale. Tooling is still not perfect but improving every year. Great frameworks, like the serverless framework, chalice and others make it super easy to get up and running with this stack. No need to configure infrastructure details (though I'd always suggest learning the ropes), you can just run a deploy command and you're done. Just to put this into context, even the builders of the Adaptive Architecture (new wave of infrastructure management, e.g. Klotho and Winglang) are prioritizing serverless services on the roadmaps.

If you are following this blog series, you should already know the benefits of using Terraform to define and deploy your AWS resources and configuration. Other IaC solutions such as AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK, and Pulumi work the same way but differs in the programming or configuration language.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is an important part of any true hosting operation in the public cloud. Each of these platforms has their own IaC solution, e.g. AWS CloudFormation. But they also support popular open-source IaC tools like Pulumi or Terraform. A category of tools that also needs to be discussed is API gateways and other app-specific load balancers. There are applications for internal consumption, which can be called microservices if you have a lot of them. And often microservices use advanced networking options such as a service mesh instead of just the native private network offered by a VPC.

funny, to me systemd == no docker, no containers, just a VM.

it's my goto way to keep my programming running and have it be restarted if the vm reboots. I use VMs like "pods". I deploy code directly to the VM and run it there along with other programs. I scale up an scale down with: https://www.pulumi.com/

Pulumi — Modern infrastructure as a code platform that allows you to use familiar programming languages and tools to build, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure.

A move like this may have an impact in other open source projects. Take Pulumi, for instance, people might avoid choosing it now that the Linux Foundation have its own IaC tool, and for newer, smaller projects it will probably be impossible to compete with a project under the Linux name.

Another alternative to writing an operator would be to rely on kustomize or https://www.pulumi.com/.

Pulumi

Would it make sense to say Dagger is to Pulumi [1], as Terraform is to Togomak?

Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Define your infrastructure using code (IaC) to automate the provisioning of resources such as virtual machines, load balancers, and databases. Tools like Terraform, Pulumi, and AWS CloudFormation can help.
