Don't do "dependsOn" and "parent", I'm pretty sure that causes issues in most (all?) the SDKs.

How come? I am doing `parent` to structure the tree and `dependsOn` is being used to ensure the order is correct

Is there any documentation on the issues this can cause?

Because parent'ing is also used for dependencies (the expectation is that a parent waits for all it's children) so parent and dependsOn causes loops in the dependency tree.

&gt; Is there any documentation on the issues this can cause?
The docs mention this leading to undefined behavior here: <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/concepts/options/parent/>

Ah okay so is the recommendation to only use depends on?

Yes, parent is really only intended for component resources.
