This project demonstrates how to deploy an AWS DynamoDB Table using Pulumi Automation API — entirely inline, with a single Python script.

There is no need for Pulumi.yaml, __main__.py, or traditional Pulumi project structure. This is perfect for lightweight infrastructure scripting, automation pipelines, or demos!

• Provisions a DynamoDB Table with a single partition key (id)
• Uses on-demand billing mode
• Deploys with just a Python command: python main.py
• Destroys resources with python main.py destroy

Before running this project, make sure you have the following installed:

• Pulumi CLI
• AWS CLI
• Python 3.7+
• AWS credentials set via aws configure or environment variables

git clone https://github.com/MakendranG/pulumi-inline-dynamodb-python.git
cd pulumi-inline-dynamodb-python

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

pip install -r requirements.txt

python main.py

You should see Pulumi provisioning the table and outputting the table name.

To tear down the stack:

python main.py destroy

To remove the Pulumi stack metadata entirely:

pulumi stack rm dev

This project uses Pulumi’s inline Automation API. Instead of relying on a Pulumi.yaml or CLI commands, it uses Python to:

• Initialize or select a stack
• Set configuration (e.g. AWS region)
• Install Pulumi plugins
• Run pulumi up or pulumi destroy programmatically

This is useful for:

• Lightweight tooling
• Infrastructure automation inside apps
• Scripting CI/CD deployment environments
