If you’ve been following the blog, you know that Pulumi is great for building serverless applications, container-based applications, and a combination of the two. But, did you know that you can manage any cloud resource in AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform?

Build a Video Thumbnailer with Pulumi using Lambdas, Containers, and Infrastructure on AWS
Pulumi makes it easy to build cloud applications that use a combination of containers, lambdas, and connected data services and infrastructure: Colada apps.
An example of a Colada app is extracting a thumbnail from a video. A serverless function can only run for 5 minutes, so we'll run a container in AWS Fargate to do the video processing.
In this app, a Lambda function is triggered whenever a new video is uploaded to S3. This function launches a task in Fargate that uses FFmpeg to extract a video thumbnail. A second Lambda function is triggered when a new thumbnail has been created.

Deploying production-ready containers with Pulumi
Containers are a great way to deploy applications to the cloud, especially with new execution models like AWS Fargate. Pulumi makes it easy to deploy production Docker containers, handling details such as creating a container registry instance in ECR, creating task definitions in ECS, and configuring a load balancer. With Pulumi, deploying a container to production is almost as easy as running it locally!

Code, Deploy, and Manage a Serverless REST API on AWS with Pulumi
Pulumi makes it easy to build serverless applications and connect to other cloud resources. In this blog post, we'll create a simple REST API that counts the number of times a route has been hit, using JavaScript to define both the infrastructure and application code.
