Pulumi sounds interesting. Spent 10 mins with their marketing website and I'm not very clear whether it is a standalone set of libraries, or do they only work in conjunction with their cloud services. Do you know?

I've been using Pulumi for a new project after using Terraform for a long time. It's a little weird at first, but then it clicks and actually feels quite nice. The Input/Output logic with its async behavior is the weird part, but it works fine when you understand how it works.

The only (minor) problem that I've seen in it is that the JavaScript/TypeScript support seems more mature and featureful than the other backends. So, I'll simply use that.

You can use it standalone and manage the state yourself.

Looks like they actually might have added locking recently with https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/pull/2697 but I haven't looked deeply
