09/10/2021, 4:11 PMHow to structure your .net files? What is the best practice for structuring the .cs files in a large stack within a project. In Terraform, you would typically group all of the resource related to the same "thing" into a .tf file For example for an Azure Function, the app service plan, storage and app service itself might all go into one .tf file. What is the equivalent for Pulumi to avoid having one giant .cs file for the stack (or is the answer that I should have a stack for each "thing" in my system and use Stack References to create inter-stack dependencies?). I have thought about using
partial classb

• cluster resources / anything shared
• backend component resource
• frontend component resource
• dns

09/12/2021, 3:22 PMThanks @bored-oyster-3147 I'll take a look at that approach Do you know of a sample anywhere I could look at?

And an example blog post: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/tutorials/aws/s3-folder-component/
