Announcing the Pulumi Deploy and Document Challenge: $3,000 in Prizes!

We're excited to partner with Pulumi for a new DEV challenge focused on Infrastructure as Code!

Running through April 06, the Pulumi Deploy and Document Challenge invites you to build and document cloud infrastructure projects using Pulumi's powerful tools. With three prompts to choose from, you'll have three chances to win and the opportunity to showcase your cloud engineering skills.

Whether you're a seasoned cloud engineer or just getting started, this challenge offers something for everyone. We hope you give it a try!

Read on for the prompts.

Our Prompts

Fast Static Website Deployment

Choose your favorite static website framework and deploy a project to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud using Pulumi. Document your journey from setup to deployment, sharing insights and best practices along the way.

Your submission will be judged primarily on the quality of your documentation (DEV submission post and repository README) but we expect the core functionality of your project to work as well.

Fast Deployment Submission Template

Shhh, It's a Secret!

Develop a program of your choice that accesses secrets and configurations from Pulumi ESC using the Pulumi ESC SDK. Document your approach to secure configuration management and guide others through implementing similar solutions.

Your submission will be judged primarily on the quality of your documentation (DEV submission post and repository README) but we expect the core functionality of your project to work as well.

Can I submit entries for all three prompts in the Pulumi Deploy and Document Challenge?

Yes you may. Each application should have it's own submission post. If an application qualifies for more than one prompt, then it may be one post but include a note that you are submitting to multiple prompts.
