Pulumi supports two classes of state backends for storing your infrastructure state:

- **Service**: a managed cloud experience using the online or self-hosted Pulumi Cloud application
- **Pulumi Cloud**: a managed cloud experience using the online or self-hosted Pulumi Cloud application
- **Self-Managed**: a manually managed object store, including AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage, any AWS S3 compatible server such as Minio or Ceph, or your local filesystem

Pulumi's SDK works great with all backends, although some details differ between them.

Pulumi uses the Service backend hosted at <a href="https://app.pulumi.com" target="_blank">`app.pulumi.com`</a> by default as it provides the best combination of usability, safety, and security for most users. Important features include:

- Robust state management, with transactional checkpointing for fault tolerance and recovery
- Concurrent state locking to prevent corrupting your infrastructure state in a team environment

The Pulumi Cloud backend requires no additional configuration after [installing the CLI](/docs/install/). Pulumi offers this backend hosted online free for individuals, with [advanced tiers](/pricing/) available for teams and enterprises (with <a href="https://app.pulumi.com/site/trial" target="_blank">free trials</a>). It has successfully undergone multiple security audits including SOC2, pen-testing, and more.

Pulumi also lets you manage state yourself using a self-managed backend. Your state is stored as simple JSON files in AWS S3, Azure Blob Store, Google Cloud Storage, an alternative AWS S3 API compatible server such as Minio or Ceph, or on your local filesystem. These self-managed backends are all open source and free to use in any setting. Using a self-managed backend trades off some amount of reliability for additional control over where metadata is stored. For instance, you will need to manually configure secure access, encryption, and history, and devise your own concurrency control and recovery capabilities. To choose a self-managed backend, use the `pulumi login` command [as documented below](#using-a-self-managed-backend).
