Case Study: Wiz scales global Kubernetes infrastructure with Pulumi

WIZ manages 1M+ cloud resources with Pulumi

Wiz, a cloud security platform, faced the immense challenge of scaling their infrastructure to support multi-cloud deployments across every major cloud provider and region where their customers operate. They needed to dynamically provision and manage thousands of unique Kubernetes clusters, including deployments within customers' own cloud accounts for compliance, a task that would break most traditional infrastructure approaches. To solve this, they turned to Pulumi and its Automation API and Go SDK.

Using Pulumi’s programmatic approach, Wiz built a system that embeds infrastructure provisioning directly into their applications. This solution now manages thousands of Kubernetes clusters and over a million cloud resources, processing hundreds of thousands of infrastructure updates daily. The measurable impact for Wiz was game-changing: they can now onboard enterprise customers 5x faster, expand into new markets within days rather than months, and manage more resources with greater operational efficiency, contributing to their position as one of the fastest-growing companies in cybersecurity.
