Ability to point directly to serverless.yml config files in the same folder

[arondeparon]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched existing issues, it hasn't been reported yet

Use case description

I don't really work on monorepos with lots of services, but I do like to split my deployments into several pieces (serverless-vpc.yml, serverless-rds.yml, serverless-backend.yml, etc...).

Currently, I keep these files in the root folder and deploy them individually.

I tried adding these files to serverless-compose.yml but it seems that this is not possible because they don't live in subfolders.

Is there some way to do this already?

Proposed solution (optional)

Hi Aron, this is indeed not supported for the same reason as for multi-region deployments. You can find a low-level explanation here: https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/guides/compose#faq

I have done multi-region by having separate folders. You would obviously need to have your serverless.yml file in both folders:

/baseInfrastructure-E2

• serverless.yml

/baseInfrastructure-W2

• serverless.yml

In the serverless.yml file, just need to specify the correct region.

Same need here, and actually config is not really supported is it? 🤔

services:
  backend-lambdas:
    path: ${sls:stage}-lambdas
    config: serverless-lambdas.yml
  backend-appsync:
    path: ${sls:stage}-appsync
    config: serverless-appsync.yml
    params:
      lambdaNamePrefix: ${backend-lambdas.lambdaNamePrefix}


Error:
The "--config" option is not supported (yet) in Serverless Framework Compose
