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.

I'd cut this paragraph and just focus on the new capability:

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. | |
| Here's an example of importing an existing PlanetScale resource: | |

| ## What's Really New Here? 🚀 | ||
|
|

| 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 |
