This is a great article, @brandonpollack23 ! Thanks much for the write-up. There are some minor grammatical issues to address (as noted), but otherwise the post looks good.

Does this not work for yaml/dotnet/java?

it does but I havent gotten around to testing each of those (there are enough issues from various subtleties in the ones built into the repo). Figured I'd wait until it was out of draft stage and folks had a look at it, but I'm going to test/add them after that.

Could we show an example of importing a PlanetScale resource?

| In addition to being able to use any Terraform/OpenTofu provider with `pulumi convert`, with the release of [Pulumi 3.146.0](https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/releases/tag/v3.146.0) you can now _import_ resources from any Terraform/OpenTofu provider using the [`pulumi import`](https://www.pulumi.com/docs/iac/cli/commands/pulumi_import/) command. | |

| 1. **Automatic Provider Bridging**: The converter now automatically handles any Terraform provider, even ones without Pulumi equivalents | ||
| 2. **Improved Import Support**: With [Pulumi 3.146.0](https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/releases/tag/v3.146.0), you can now import resources from any bridged provider |

We should wait to submit this until pulumi/pulumi#18259 is released |

| - Abstract functionality that is shared, perhaps by extracting it into reusable functions or classes. | ||
| - Consider moving any functions that you will use in different infrastructure projects to a shared dependency or a [Component Resource](/docs/iac/concepts/resources/components/#component-resources). | ||
| - Do anything you need to have your infrastructure behave how you want: consolidate functionality from scripts, read information from files and services, the sky is the limit! A Pulumi program is _just a program_! |

Suggested edit for clarity: Customize your infrastructure however you need: You can consolidate script functionality, read data from files and services, and more. A Pulumi program is just code!

I mixed the two, I kind of want to get the point through that you can do anything the target language can do
| pulumi import "b2:index/bucket:Bucket" example_bucket "YOUR_BUCKET_ID" | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| 1. As part of the import, code will be generated for you to add to your project as you see fit to manage the resource from Pulumi. By default, Pulumi will set the `protect` option when generating code, which prevents the resources from being deleted by Pulumi; you can use `--protect=false` to disable this. |

Suggestion for this as well: During the import, Pulumi generates code for you to add to your project, allowing you to manage the resource as needed.
| 1. **Improved Import Support**: With [Pulumi 3.153.0](https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/releases/tag/v3.153.0), you can now import resources from any Terraform provider | ||
| 1. **Seamless Integration**: Generated code works right out of the box with minimal to no tweaking needed | ||

I'd suggest a CTA at the end to download Pulumi, or send folks to our get started guides.

CTA = Call to Action? ok adding
This commit fixes a few typos, makes some of the language more direct and addresses some remaining pieces of PR feedback.
