@lionello Hi! Thanks for opening this issue. There was a statement in the README that using managed files may not be the best fit for all use cases, but we've expanded that to specifically mention that using managed files will increase your resources under management when using Pulumi Cloud. If you don't feel this properly resolves this issue, let us know. Thanks!
What happened?
This plugin creates one Pulumi resource per file. For a big folder, this can create tens or hundreds of Pulumi resources in each stage. The way Pulumi cloud is billed, this will consume ~750 credits per file per month! At USD$0.0005, this is $0.375 per file per stack per month. For my project that meant USD$50 per month, just for one synced folder in three stages.
There must be a way to do the same thing with a single Pulumi resource. I consider this a bug and not a feature request, in the very least a doc bug. The cost should be mentioned alongside the
managedObjects
property.Example
