Automated AWS Infrastructure provisioning with Pulumi
Sofwan Lawal
In this project, I architected a fully automated AWS infrastructure using Pulumi with TypeScript to support a microservices-based platform. The objective was to move away from manual provisioning and embrace Infrastructure-as-Code for consistency, scalability, and repeatability across environments.
Using Pulumi, I provisioned core infrastructure components including:
VPC with private/public subnets
ECS Fargate clusters with ALB integration
RDS (PostgreSQL) instances
S3 buckets with strict IAM controls
CloudWatch for centralized logging
The codebase was split into reusable modules, making it easy to scaffold new services with shared networking, storage, and access layers. Environment-specific stacks (e.g., staging, production) used Pulumi’s config system, and infrastructure deployment was fully integrated into our CI/CD pipeline via GitLab.
This setup enabled seamless bootstrapping of new environments, faster onboarding for engineers, and a consistent baseline for deploying services.
Key Skills: AWS, Pulumi, TypeScript, ECS, RDS, IAM, GitLab CI/CD
Problem Solved: Eliminated manual AWS provisioning and improved infrastructure consistency across multiple environments.
