Pulumi Service Redesign
Description
Pulumi
2022
A huge goal that the Pulumi UX team accomplished 2022 was updating the Pulumi Service. The Service is Pulumi's web application that's used in conjunction with Pulumi CLI (command-line interface) to manage deployment state and enable collaboration between developers.
Between its' poor navigation, which visually made it unclear to users where they were on the site or where a link would lead them, to the dashboard which serve no real purpose as it was being mostly ignored by the users, to the overall poorly designed UI, the Service was in desperate need of an update.
The goal was to improve the overall user experience by making the site easier to navigate and help users get the proper information they need quicker by updating the site's dashboard. And while doing these things, updating the design of the site so that it's more aesthetically pleasing.
