Question

We use `app microservice environment` style as follows ``` app1 api dev prod qa webapp dev prod qa app2 api dev prod qa webapp dev prod qa``` When using s3 as a backend what should I use when creating a new project ie project name and stack name and how do I actually access the output from a different app I assume the stack name is just dev prod or qa What about project name

The project name is unimportant in the decision go with something informative app1 app2 is probably good enough Or if you want to deploy apps together you might use a single apps project You ll almost certainly need one or more base projects that the app projects depend on to set up things like DNS VPCs VPC endpoints maybe shared DBs and or LBs and more

I believe that the stack name unfortunately needs to echo the project name in some way This may not be true any more I know there have been improvements in this area check the docs to be sure But until last year at least you needed to discriminate between app1 s dev stack and app2 s dev stack So app1 dev and app2 dev would be appropriate

To access outputs of one stack in another stack you use stack references The docs and examples are good <https www pulumi com docs concepts stack stackreferences>

Coo cheers The `app1 dev` `app2 dev` is what I really dislike But I guess I just chuck all services belonging to an app in the same project and be done with it
