It looks like SST’s

.addOutputs

method publishes outputs without an

export name

value set – making the value inaccessible to

cdk.Fn.importValue

. Is there are way to add an export name to a SST created output or should you duplicate these via

cdk.CfnOutput

? I’m finding myself creating outputs via

.addOuputs

for consumption by other SST stacks within the same service and by

cdk.CfnOutput

for consumption by other Services’ stacks in the same account – which leads to duplicate outputs. Not a huge issue, but would be nice remove the duplication in the code and console if possible.

I've actually never fully understood outputs and export names

Yup, output is stack unique, export is globally unique within the same region

Yep - but it looks like output has to have an ‘export name’ value to be accessible to CDK import
