yes, you could choose only the `sample` stack to have that beanstalk app

One way to do that could be to have a larger project with different deployment stacks, and `pulumi.get_stack()` can tell you if you want to run certain things, OR simply have different values in your `yaml` file for each associated stack.

When deploying the `sample` stack you would have the beanstalk app, and for `production` it wouldn't include it, but would not tear down `sample`'s app

In the JS runtime, can conditionals prevent code branches from being included in state?

I’m not even sure what it means to remove a beanstalk application version from state. So I’ll try that out before anything.

I think the idiomatic approach would be to have a project only for that app, and run it only after the larger outer project.
