Apps

Applications are the deployable binaries this repo produces. There are two distinct shapes:

1. The pulumi CLI — the one binary every user invokes.
2. Language hosts — small Go binaries (pulumi-language-nodejs, pulumi-language-python, pulumi-language-go, pulumi-language-pcl) the engine spawns to run user programs.

Pulumi-the-platform also depends on provider plugins (e.g. pulumi-resource-aws), but those live in separate repositories. Inside pulumi/pulumi, the only providers are synthetic ones — default providers materialized by the engine and the test providers under tests/testprovider/.

Sub-pages

• CLI — pkg/cmd/pulumi/. Subcommand structure, entry points, plugin spawning.
• Language hosts — sdk/<lang>/cmd/pulumi-language-<lang>/. How user programs run.
