02/14/2022, 5:10 PMHey! Does anyone have any tips and tricks for finding out the "deploy hot path" for a set of cloudformation stacks to deploy? Or a dependency graph of CFN stacks?
We have 18 stacks and counting and deploys are gradually slowing down so would like to debug.

Rather than me clicking through the 18 stacks, noting down their dependencies, deploy start times, deploy end times: I was wondering if someone knows of a tool or a tip to easily see this?

02/15/2022, 1:14 PMI guess the question still remains: how do I find out which resources to share without clicking through 18 stacks? 😄

02/15/2022, 1:15 PMMight whip together a tool to diagnose this. Was thinking just getting Stack Events and somehow shoving them into a distributed tracing tool where each span is a resource being deployed. At least there are quite a few open source UIs to visualize traces.
