05/19/2022, 8:50 AMSo I ran - npx sst start and project boots up, how should I run this next time, running npx sst start will again try to create stack/resources and will throw resource exist error .
UPDATE: in my stack I am creating dynamodb table, How can I check if table exist and skip if it exist ?
Thanks

05/19/2022, 8:53 AMYes, if you run remove, it’ll remove all your resources.
If you run
sst startm

05/19/2022, 1:44 PMYou should never really be running sst remove. Everytime you start to work you can run sst start and it'll just reuse what's already there

05/19/2022, 1:45 PMIf you do run sst remove, the default behavior is not to delete stateful resources like DynamoDB in case you accidentally deleted data

05/19/2022, 1:45 PMYou can delete it manually in the console and then bring everything up

05/19/2022, 1:46 PMIs that still the case if you specify RemovalPolicy.DESTROY ?

05/19/2022, 1:46 PMNo was about to mention that

05/19/2022, 1:47 PMLike Ross said you can override this default behavior but I don't think you should be running into this frequently
