Or you could also use the cloud provider's api from a real programming language, or generate terraform code from it.

After having tried Pulumi I felt it does not bring the claimed pros, you need to write code in a non-idiomatic way, and coming up with abstractions for the representation of the stuff you talk about takes more time than just write proper terraform, and perform proper thorough reviews, which also facilitate knowledge sharing in the organization.

Also then you'd have 3 layers as sources of bugs, instead of just one: your code (you tested it properly, didn't you! How much time saved as opposed to just doing proper reviews!), pulumi itself (has faced its bugs on such a simple task as setting up an aws lambda), and terraform it uses under the hood.

In my experience pulumi doesn't solve problems for the business, but lets engineers waste time and money on playing around with their NIH abstractions. We tried it, and dumped it, and went back to terraform, which just works.
