Issue details

Problem:

• Navigating the landing page for our github.com/pulumi/examples repo is a less than ideal experience as the user must scroll past 100s of examples before getting to the README.md instructions.

Potential Solution:

• Update any existing github.com/pulumi/examples reference links to github.com/pulumi/examples#readme.

Affected area/feature

Any existing redirects to the /examples repo.

Definitely much we could do here! Looking forward to talking through it.

As discuss on X with @cnunciato 😉, here are my ideas :
It could be interesting to split the repo in several ones to help the user find his way.
Two possible splitting in my mind:

• by target (aws, gcp, ...): it follows the current naming structure
• by langage (go, ts, ...): it would be the one I prefer, because I first choose my language

Or a more complex one but that is the most complete:

|_ platform
   |_ language

[yodamad]

After though, a less intrusive one, would be to just "de-flatten" the current one with the approach platform / langage / sample: it will avoid the long list and ease to find our path to the sample we need

Hi @cnunciato @desteves @dirien

i've tried to initialize something : https://github.com/yodamad/pulumi-examples/tree/master

🚧 Work is in progress, I've just done the job for AWS.

Let me know what you do think about it, if it looks ok for you, I can do the other providers 😉
