Environments

Managing state files in Terraform is notoriously difficult, requiring external buckets and DynamoDB locks. Pulumi solves this out-of-the-box using the Pulumi Service. In this episode, we explore how State is managed, and how to use Stacks to deploy identical infrastructure to Staging and Production environments safely.

Welcome to Tier 3: Advanced Platform Engineering. You now know how to write reusable modules and store state remotely. But how do you safely deploy identical infrastructure to both Staging and Production without them colliding? We explore Workspaces and Directory Isolation.
