Simple Pulumi orchestration like any build-system

Idea

Normally, pulumi expects you to create a package that only contains deployment details. While this is a valid use-case, to integrate into development further you usually want to re-use that packages in a modular way. This is my take on this modular way, where I try to replicate the same concepts that most build-systems follow with a modular configuration and plugin ecosystem.

Provides

• Everything from @pulumi/pulumi
• @pulumi/kubernetes as k8s
• @pulumi/random as random
• Define Configuration method

Usage

1. Install the package: yarn add -D @adaliszk/pulumi @pulumi/pulumi (pulumi is needed because the CLI expects it within the package.json)
2. Create your configuration file pulumi.config.ts:

    import { defineConfig } from '@adaliszk/pulumi'
       
    export default defineConfig({
        createNamespace: true, // or use string for a specific name
        resources: [
            // List your resources that implements `Component`
        ]
    })

3. Create Pulumi configuration file: Pulumi.yaml

    name: your-distribution
    description: >-
      An example pulumi distribution using @adaliszk configuration
       
    main: pulumi.config.ts
    runtime: nodejs

4. Use the Pulumi CLI: pulumi up

Adding Resources

To define new resources for the system, you can build a project that exports out the appropriate function that implements the Component type. This wrapper function then needs to give back another that then have access to the deployment configuration such as the created namespace.

Example:

import {StackConfig, Component, ComponentDeployment} from '@adaliszk/pulumi'

export interface MyResourceOptions
{
    // Add your configuration 
}

export const myResource: Component = (options?: MyResourceOptions) => {
    return (config: StackConfig) => {
        // Create your resources
        // Return an object for exporting
    }
}

Ideally you should build this package, so that pulumi would need less compilation. For that, I recommend using tsup!

Versioning

Since this is a meta-package, the versioning reflect its main provided package, in this case @pulumi/pulumi. However, only the Major and Minor versions are kept in sync, and the Patch is used to bump the meta-package.
