An exploration into how we could support int64 as well as float64 as a first class type in Pulumi. There's some inherit trickiness with this because we use JSON in a few places, state files most obviously but `PropertyValue` on the wire is using the protobuf `Struct` and `Value` types which are just mappings to JSON as well. JSON doesn't have an int64 type, and while the Go JSON marshaller can read/write int64s it's not a great behaviour to rely on given mixed support for that across languages. Further the protobuf `Value` type only supports float64s. So we support integers similar to our other special types (like assets) and wrap them in an object with a special signature field. The value itself is either a number (if it can safely roundtrip to float64 and back again) or a string. Providers, SDKs and the engine communicate support for integers via `AcceptsIntegers` fields in their interfaces (or similar). When transmitting to a peer that doesn't support integers (e.g. an old SDK, or old provider) all integer values are mapped back to standard number values. As this changes the serialisation of property values in the state file it will trigger errors if old engines try to load a state file containing integers. |

Pulumi CrossCode
The github.com/pulumi/pulumi/pkg/v3/codegen
package defines the core components of Pulumi's CrossCode technology. CrossCode provides a set of foundational capabilities for working across a variety of programming languages supported by the Pulumi platform.
The core components of CrossCode in this package are:
- Schema: The definition of Pulumi Schema, a language-neutral specification of cloud resource models. Pulumi Schema is the interface definition language for all Pulumi Packages, and is used as input to SDK code generation for each supported Pulumi language.
- SDK Code Generation for Node.js, Python, Go and .NET: These libraries define how to create Pulumi SDKs from a Pulumi Schema definition of a package. The resulting SDKs expose the resource, components and functions from that package into the the Pulumi programming model defined for the given language.
- Docs Generation: In addition to generating per-language SDKs, CrossCode supports generating language-neutral documentation for a package from it's Pulumi Schema. This documentation is currently hosted in the Pulumi Registry, but can in principle be hosted in other contexts as well.
- Pulumi Configuration Language: An internal representation of Pulumi programs which supports all core concepts of the Pulumi programming model in a minimal form. Although not exposed directly to users today, this intermediate representation is used to support a variety of program conversion tasks, from and to various supported Pulumi languages.
- Program Generation for Node.js, Python, Go and .NET: Support for lowering Pulumi Configuration Language into each of the supported Pulumi languages, such that examples and programs can be generated for the language.
These foundations enable a vast array of features supported in the Pulumi Platform, including:
- Pulumi support for Node.js, Python, Go, .NET, Java and YAML: Each Pulumi language is supported by defining a representation of the Pulumi resource model in that language, and then implementing SDK Code Generation and Program Generation for the language.
- Pulumi Packages: Pulumi packages define a set of resources using Pulumi Schema, and use the CrossCode SDK Code Generators for every Pulumi language automatically.
pulumi import
: Cloud infrastructure resources deployed outside of Pulumi can be imported into Pulumi, including generated Pulumi code in your language of choice which defines the infrastructure. This builds on the program generation support from CrossCode.- tf2pulumi, arm2pulumi, crd2pulumi, kube2pulumi and cf2pulumi: These tools convert the source IaC format into an intermediate Pulumi Configuration Language model, and then use the CrossCode program generation support to convert that ultimately into the language a Pulumi user wants to use for their infrastructure.
pulumi convert
: Thepulumi convert
command allows Pulumi YAML programs to be converted into programs in any other Pulumi language. Because Pulumi YAML is a proper subset of what can be expressed in Pulumi Configuration Language, this conversion from Pulumi YAML to Pulumi Configuration Language and then into each Pulumi language can be done faithfully.- Pulumi Registry: The Pulumi Registry provides discovery and documentation hosting for all Pulumi Packages. It is powered by the Pulumi Schema and CrossCode documentation generation features.
