I m trying to understand if its better to use a single proje

Question

I m trying to understand if its better to use a single project with multiple stacks or multiple projects with one or more stacks Are there any good examples of complexish setups with pulumi

The advise I tend to give is logically divide up your resources networking databases application etc into projects Stacks should be equivalent to environments so dev staging prod When it comes to regions You can use a provider for each region and and then set the provider for the resource

brave-planet-10645 · Answer

So you d just have a folder per project and then in each have multiple stack config files where you can specify the differences between each stack You could also include the regions you want to deploy to in the stack config and have the code build providers based on that

Thanks < brave planet 10645> is there any good example showing that setup

brave-planet-10645 · Answer

We have this one <https github com pulumi examples tree master aws stackreference architecture> It doesn t have multi region and it doesn t have multi stack but the multi projects is what you re looking for really

fast-florist-41572 · Answer

Thanks that looks good Are stacks conceptually just an overlay config to apply onto a project

Without trying to hijack this conversation I have a related question also slightly smiling face How do workspaces fit into this idea I have a stack that is going to be deployed per feature development for a repo and I m trying to figure out how to organize that So I have two projects one with shared resources and one with resources that will be deployed every time the request is made then my stacks will determine environment How would I organize the project that gets deployed per request Just with naming conventions Or should I use workspaces somehow

brave-planet-10645 · Answer

You mean TF workspaces

brave-planet-10645 · Answer

Pulumi doesn t have a concept of workspaces

brave-planet-10645 · Answer

< fast florist 41572> correct

brave-planet-10645 · Answer

Officially from the docs `A stack is an isolated independently configurable instance of a Pulumi program `

fast-florist-41572 · Answer

Ok thanks so conceptually I could just use lots of projects to achieve what I want and have a default stack in most cases

brave-planet-10645 · Answer

Yes

fast-florist-41572 · Answer

Awesome thanks

fast-florist-41572 · Answer

Also is there a way to trigger a project that would initiate two other projects stacks

fast-florist-41572 · Answer

ie if I had networking and db and then I wanted to have a project that was a region I call that which would initiate the networking first and then the database

brave-planet-10645 · Answer

Not by default You should look at our <https www pulumi com docs guides automation api |automation api> which allows you to integrate your pulumi programs in an application In this case you could have an application that would orchestrate your deployments like you ve said
