A live coding session demonstrating how to build a Heroku-like self-service deployment platform using Pulumi's Automation API with Python and AWS. The session covers creating reusable Pulumi component resources (a WebApp class wrapping ECS Fargate, load balancer, security groups, VPC, IAM roles), then wrapping the whole thing in a custom Python CLI using argparse so developers can deploy containerized apps by simply specifying a name and Docker image — no infrastructure knowledge required. Key concepts include Pulumi vs Terraform differences, state management options, dependency graph resolution, Python type system benefits for IaC, and stack-based multi-tenancy for isolated deployments.
