Automating infrastructure ensures consistency, scalability, and efficiency in today’s fast-paced development environment. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has become a cornerstone in this automation journey, allowing teams to define, provision, and manage infrastructure through code. Pulumi is an increasingly popular tool in this domain, offering a modern approach to IaC by enabling the use of familiar programming languages such as TypeScript, Python, Go, and more. Unlike traditional IaC tools like Terraform, which rely on domain-specific languages, Pulumi allows you to leverage your existing knowledge to define cloud infrastructure more intuitively and flexibly.
In this podcast, we’ll walk through deploying a Node.js server on AWS ECS using Pulumi. We’ll cover setting up the necessary permissions, building and pushing a Docker image to AWS ECR, deploying to AWS ECS, integrating with AWS API Gateway for external access, and cleaning up resources while adhering to best practices.
