Up to $10K in Pulumi credits plus hands-on technical support for pre-Series A startups.
Pulumi for Startups hands you up to $10,000 in credits (valid 12 months) to spend on their Infrastructure as Code platform, which lets you define cloud resources in JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, .NET, Java, or Go instead of YAML. You also get direct technical support with office hours, guided workshops, and pre-built templates to get moving faster. The catch: you need to be pre-Series A with under $1M ARR, and credits expire after a year whether you use them or not. This works best if you're already planning to use Pulumi or want to trial it seriously before committing budget.
