09/11/2021, 1:33 PMThere's no reference to my current project in the stack (dev.json) I just deployed.
Where is project metadata stored (if at all) when using an s3 backend with the automation API?

09/11/2021, 10:26 PMRight - but my question still stands - how is project metadata placed in a custom backend (s3 or local)?
In my bucket I see directories for stacks, backups, and history

09/11/2021, 10:28 PMFor now I'm just prepending my stacks with the project name

09/11/2021, 10:30 PMMy problem has been that I've created multiple projects with the same stack name and the stack metadata is getting overwritten

See here: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/2522
In Pulumi SaaS stack names are unique to the project. In file-state backends stack names are globally unique.
