Question: How do references to other components' output work? about fullstack-app HOT 3 OPEN

Same question here.

Similarly, if you run serverless deploy in the root folder, how does it know the dependency graph to define the order of operations in which to deploy? I.e. the database must be deployed prior to the api etc.

The output variable format is like this:

${output:<instanceName>.<outputName>}

This would find the instance named instanceName in the same app & stage you're deploying to. So in your case, the instance name is permissions. You can confirm that by looking at the name property of the yaml file inside the permissions folder.

@tommedema the CLI collects all the yaml files in child directories and does some basic static analysis, to figure out the output references.

@eahefnawy does it then do a graph analysis to ensure that dependencies are deployed prior to dependents etc.?
