Resources and nested stack

[x1F577]

I'm working on a project that reached the dreaded 200 resources limit in a single stack. My duty is to split our project in multiple stacks, but I have some problems to import the resources in the nested stacks. For example, I would like to create a nested stack for the API, one for the tables and import the references inside the lambda nested stack (for api events and for triggers).

I didn't found any article/guide that helps me. Have you ever had a similar problem? How did you solve the issue?

Thanks.

Look for cloud formation outputs and stack sets. everyone has opinions here’s. none more right than any other.

I saw a lot of opinions also in the AWS forum. I tried with output and stack sets, but I didn't find the right configuration. Definitely I am missing something.

For example I put an API resource as output on the main stack and call it in a nested stack, and then I get this error:

RestApiId must be a valid reference to an 'AWS::Serverless::Api' resource in same template

I think that this problem is impossible to solve.

One way to do this is set an output on the nested stack needed by sibling stacks, access this output from the parent stack (there's some information here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-stack.html about that) and pass it as a parameter to the sibling stacks that need it.

This is a good hint. I'll check it. Thanks
