this sounds interesting, but not sure what the benefit would be over a standard pulumi program with a component?

09/27/2021, 8:44 PMonly for chicken-egg things, when the output of a stack is needed to get into the input of another stack, https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/3021

09/27/2021, 8:46 PMone solution is an automation api thing there https://github.com/pulumi/pulumitv/tree/master/modern-infrastructure-wednesday/2020-10-21, but it feels weird to abandon all that the pulumi cli does. stacks as resources. nice find with that issue @bored-oyster-3147 thanks

09/27/2021, 8:54 PMAutomation API is definitely the current way to do this, and has the benefit of not needing to jump the technical hurdle of having a pulumi deployment within a pulumi deployment. The provider for those stacks-as-resources will need to be able to reach out to pulumi host to kick of deployment independently, which sounds eerily similar to some of the features recently announced in the new Pulumi REST API.... so hopefully we see progress on that at some point because I agree that it would be useful for stack references. Would be nice if that provider implementation could spin up separate console hosts to run those nested deployments and not need the REST API

I have long wanted to build a ci/cd tool with the automation API that is able to resolve stack references, similar t something like terraform's atlantis project

even something simple like a configuration file:
Copy code
my-stack
dependencies:
- stack-a
- stack-bbillowy-army-68599

then the automation api runs them in order, would be a good start
