12/09/2022, 8:54 PMKeep it all in a single "main" until you have an obvious reason to use multiple files/modules/classes.

12/09/2022, 8:55 PMAn obvious reason would be like "I have 1000 lines of code in one file".

12/09/2022, 8:55 PMthanks. this is existing infrastructure I'm working on importing in. This is not for a personal project, but will encompass quite a few resources. That said, I think I might have worked out a way forward, but am still tinkering

12/09/2022, 8:56 PMIaC is not as easily refactored as regular code because of the stateful nature (although it can definitely be refactored in Pulumi with aliases), so you're gonna want to keep it a little dumber than app code even if it does not read as pretty.

12/09/2022, 8:59 PMI recommend you try regular ol' static functions first, then Components if you need them. Try to group resources logically (like a whole service, or foundational networking) rather than by a fine-grained type. I think you'll find it's easier to work with.
In general (IaC and app code), you know your code org is right when changes are confined to a small number of files that live in the same place.

12/09/2022, 9:05 PMgotcha. I definitely need to have "global" things in one place, and "product" specific items elsewhere. One of the things I'm kicking around is how to reference something across multiple resources. For example, a single policy that needs assigned to several groups. The group requires the policy ARN.
The major hurdle was I am attempting to create some generic methods and interface implementations, where method would basically just do a "execute the constructor for any class which implements IPolicy" as an example.

12/09/2022, 9:55 PMAn IAM policy? Just create a managed policy and then attach it to multiple principals.
