alt Hacker NewsInteresting product! Not sure if I'm getting this right, docs seem pretty sparse so please forgive me. Here are a couple questions:
1. Do you support tagging resources?
2. You mention provisioning Pulumi resources, are you "simply" a wrapper around Pulumi? If so, are you relying on Pulumi for state management or does Stelvio have it's own state manager?
3. Do you support cloudfront? Imo this is a vital service for building even small production apps, esp if you are serving static assets out of S3.
4. I saw references to API Gateway v1, do you also support v2?
5. One of the cool features is that you're able to handle all the IAM stuff, but can that also be easily modified? Like, if I want to create a new lambda that interacts with an existing dynamodb table, how would I describe that with Stelvio?
Sorry for the pile of questions lol but you got my attention :) You have a lot of competition in this space and I'm curious to see how your project will evolve. Best of luck!

Even if he does, how kind will it take him to add new functionality? For instance AWS both announced durable lambda functions and CFT support the same day
Thank you for valuable feedback.
1. Not yet but coming soon.
2. Essentially yes, Stelvio is wrapper around Pulumi, using it mainly for state management and as an escape hatch in cases you might need something not supported.
3. Yes we do, there's `CloudFrontDistribution` component but it's not documented as idiomatic way is to use `Router` [1] & `S3StatitWebsite`[1] components and `custom_domains` [3].
4. Currently only v1. v2 (http) and websockets on the roadmap
5. Yes when you link resources we provide default permissions but these can be fully modified https://stelvio.dev/concepts/linking/#customizing-links If you want to link existing dynamo table that is NOT created with stelvio and link it to lambda that's currently not supported, meaning you'll not get automated permissions. Although it would be possible so we might support this use case if there's interest.
Thank you for good questions. If you have any more questions/feedback or need help hit us email at [email protected] Happy to talk.
