+## A Unified Vision: The Pulumi Platform
+
+![Placeholder Image](pulumi-platform-vision.png)
+
+This year, Pulumi unveiled a bold new vision for Pulumi—[a comprehensive product suite](https://www.pulumi.com/blog/pulumi-up-2024/) that extends far beyond infrastructure as code. The Pulumi platform now consists of three core products:
+
+- **[Pulumi IaC](https://www.pulumi.com/docs/iac/)**: Open source infrastructure as code in any programming language. With over 100M downloads, 167% growth in contributions, and industry-leading innovations, Pulumi IaC continues to redefine cloud automation.
+- **[Pulumi ESC](https://www.pulumi.com/docs/esc/)**: Centralized secrets management and orchestration that scales. General availability this year brought features like SDKs, versioning, tagging, and integrations with 1Password and Kubernetes secrets operators.
+- **[Pulumi Insights](https://www.pulumi.com/docs/pulumi-cloud/insights/)**: Visibility, intelligence, and control over all infrastructure resources. Insights 2.0 expanded support for resources created outside Pulumi IaC, delivering advanced graph visualizations and policy enforcement powered by Pulumi CrossGuard.
+

+- **[Pulumi Deployments](https://www.pulumi.com/docs/pulumi-cloud/deployments/)**: Infrastructure task orchestration.
+
+Over 3,000 customers, including Nvidia, BMW, Unity Games, and Tivity Health, leveraged these solutions to enhance velocity, save costs, and secure their infrastructure.
