How to Integrate Pulumi with GitHub Actions

Pulumi, an open-source IaC tool, allows developers to define and manage cloud infrastructure using various programming languages such as JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, and .NET. GitHub Actions is a CI/CD platform that enables automation of workflows directly within GitHub repositories. Combining Pulumi with GitHub Actions can significantly enhance your cloud infrastructure management, making it more automated, reproducible, and error-free. However, there are limitations when leveraging the integration, such as complex workflow configuration, concurrency and state management issues, and difficulty in sharing secrets, files, configurations, and outputs between multiple workflows. Spacelift is an alternative that addresses these limitations by providing a simpler and less error-prone way to manage infrastructure.
