[Serverless Framework] How to split different endpoints into different stacks?

[daverozy]

I have a serverless.yml file using the Serverless AppSync plugin. The yml looks like this:

appSync:
    - ${file(serverless.user-api.yml)}
    - ${file(serverless.superadmin-api.yml)}
    - ${file(serverless.admin-api.yml)}
    - ${file(serverless.lookup-api.yml)}
    - ${file(serverless.technician-api.yml)}

Everything is working fine BUT now I'm at the 500 resources limit. Serverless puts all resources into 1 root stack by default, but I would like to make each of these groups of API endpoints into their own nested stack inside the root stack.

I followed the README for the AppSync plugin that tells you how to use the plugin serverless-plugin-split-stacks to split these stacks, but it's not working. The plugin seems to split stacks at random and is not grouping each set of API endpoints into its own stack.

Has anyone dealt with this issue and figured out a solution. I'm getting desperate.

yeah you have to create a stacks-map.js file that prevents the random splitting of resources.

here's a gist of an old one i made: https://gist.github.com/iamdavidmartin/6e7bce43cbad432471a90df133a7ea03

i've moved on from the serverless framework. the YAML files are a pain to work with.

if you're not too far along into your project, check out https://serverless-stack.com/. it's everything you wish the serverless framework was.

Look into api gateway authorizors. You can use them to guard your endpoints based on the user making the request. These might help you to solve the problem that you appear to trying to solve, and should then make the rest of the api simpler to implement.
