This plugin provides support for managing multiple AWS CloudFormation stacks in your Serverless 1.x service (serverless.yml). The plugin requires Node.js 12.x or later due to use of Object.fromEntries(). Normally, Serverless creates a single CloudFormation stack which contains all your CloudFormation resources. If you ever delete your service, these resources are also deleted, including data stored in S3 or DynamoDB. The Additional Stacks Plugin allows you to move your "permanent" resources into a separate CloudFormation stack, which is not tightly coupled with the service. If you delete your Serverless service and deploy it again from scratch, the permanent resources and their stored data remain untouched. The cost of separation is that Ref: no longer works for directly referencing resources between stacks. If you need such references, you'll need to define exported stack output values and then use Fn::ImportValue to refer to the value in the other stack. However, you can also use shared Serverless variables in stack definitions. So you can define resource names in serverless.yml and then refer to them using variables like ${self:custom.tableName}. You can use the plugin to manage as many additional stacks as you like in your serverless.yml, placed under the custom.additionalStacks section.
