Problem

Certain usage patterns of functions end up with Caused By: ❌ Deployment failed: Error [ValidationError]: Circular dependency between resources:.

This happens is scenarios where it could have been avoided. Just because we pack all functions into same stack and therefore coupling them together.

Changes

This PR explores an option to have separate defineStack (we could name it as defineResourceGroup as well if we don't want CDK naming, but then could resource group be just a string like in other POC?).

The code using this solution looks like this:

import { defineFunction, defineStack } from '@aws-amplify/backend';

const stack1 = defineStack('awesome-stack1');
const stack2 = defineStack('awesome-stack2');


export const testFunction = defineFunction({scope: stack1});

export const myApiFunction = defineFunction({
  name: 'api-function',
  scope: stack2
});

Validation

There are two test projects used to reproduce the original problem:

1. test-projects/function-stack-1
2. test-projects/function-stack-2

Both deployed successfully with new setting.
