Pulumipus

A self-service infrastructure platform built with Python, Flask, and Pulumi's Automation API.

Overview

Pulumipus is an open-source demo application that showcases how to build a self-service infrastructure platform using Pulumi's Automation API. It provides a web portal created with Python and Flask where users can choose from a catalog of infrastructure resources (like static websites). Users can fill out a form with their desired content or configuration, and the backend uses the Automation API to provision the resources on AWS. The application exposes all CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for the managed resources.

✨ Key Features

  • Web portal for self-service infrastructure provisioning.
  • Exposes infrastructure resources like static websites, databases, and VMs.
  • Full CRUD operations for managed resources.
  • Built with Python, Flask, and Jinja templates.
  • Uses Pulumi Automation API for all backend infrastructure operations.

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Provides a complete, runnable example of a self-service portal.
  • Focuses on simplicity and is easy to understand for learning purposes.
  • Written in Python, a popular language for both web development and infrastructure.

Unique Value: Provides a tangible, open-source starting point for building custom IaC platforms, lowering the barrier to entry for adopting the Automation API.

🎯 Use Cases (3)

A starting point or boilerplate for building a custom internal platform. A hands-on example for learning the Pulumi Automation API in Python. Demonstrating how to abstract cloud complexity away from end-users.

✅ Best For

  • The project is a fully developed demo for the static website resource, showing how to implement create, update, and delete functionality programmatically.

💡 Check With Vendor

Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:

  • Production deployment without significant security hardening and feature additions.

🏆 Alternatives
