Temporal and Pulumi Goodness?
Why
I've done a fair amount of work using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (not to be confused with Chef/Puppet which are Config Management tools) using AWS's Cloudformation, Terraform, and GCP's Deployment Manager. Azure's implementation of IaC using Azure Resource Manager (ARM) wasn't very popular and I never had the need for it (used Terraform for Azure's resources).

I've used Jenkins, I've used CircleCI, I've used GitHub Actions, and they all get the job done. But what really caught my interest with Temporal is that I no longer have to worry about protecting my workflow orchestration tools from transient failures (at least that's the Temporal claim).
Another advantage that I foresee of integrating Pulumi and Temporal is that both platforms provide a
