Prerequisites
* Node.js 14 or later
* Pulumi CLI
Getting Started
To create a Pulumi provider for Airbyte, we’ll use the Pulumi Provider Development Kit (PDK). The PDK provides a set of tools and templates to help you develop and test your own providers.
First, let’s create a new directory for our provider and initialize it with the PDK:
“`
mkdir airbyte-provider
cd airbyte-provider
pulumi new –provider –generate-resource-typescript
“`
Resource Definition
The core of a Pulumi provider is the resource definition. This defines the resources that your provider can manage. For Airbyte, we’ll define a simple resource called AirbyteConnection:
“`typescript
// index.ts
import * as pulumi from @pulumi/pulumi;
export class AirbyteConnection extends pulumi.ComponentResource {
constructor(name: string, args: { source: string; destination: string }, opts?: pulumi.ComponentResourceOptions) {
super(airbyte:index:AirbyteConnection, name, args, opts);
}
}
“`
Provider Implementation
Next, let’s implement the provider itself. This includes creating a client for the Airbyte API and implementing the methods that Pulumi uses to interact with the resources.
“`typescript
// provider.ts
import * as pulumi from @pulumi/pulumi;
import { AirbyteConnection } from ./index;
export class AirbyteProvider implements pulumi.Provider {
constructor(opts?: pulumi.ProviderResourceOptions) {}
async create(type: string, name: string, inputs: any, options?: pulumi.InvokeOptions): Promise
if (type === airbyte:index:AirbyteConnection) {
return new AirbyteConnection(name, inputs, options);
}
throw new Error(`Unknown resource type ${type}`);
}
}
“`
Testing
Finally, let’s test our provider. The PDK provides a testing framework that allows you to write tests for your resources and provider implementation.
“`typescript
// spec.ts
import { Testing } from @pulumi/pulumi/x/provider;
import { AirbyteProvider } from ./provider;
import { AirbyteConnection } from ./index;
const testing = new Testing(airbyte-provider);
testing.registerProvider(airbyte, AirbyteProvider);
const connectionArgs = {
source: example-source,
destination: example-destination,
};
testing.registerResource(airbyte:index:AirbyteConnection, {
isConstruct: true,
skipRefresh: false,
allInputs: connectionArgs,
checkState: (connection: AirbyteConnection) => {
testing.equal(connection.source, connectionArgs.source);
testing.equal(connection.destination, connectionArgs.destination);
},
});
testing.run();
“`
Publishing
Once you’re satisfied with your provider, you can publish it to the Pulumi Marketplace. To do this, you’ll need to create a Pulumi account and join the Marketplace Partner program.
Once you’re approved, you can follow the instructions in the Pulumi documentation to publish your provider.
Conclusion
Creating a Pulumi provider is a powerful way to extend Pulumi’s capabilities and automate the management of your infrastructure. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can create your own provider and start using it in your Pulumi programs.
Happy coding!
Kind regards R. Morris.
