❓ General Issue

The Question

After adding around 14 stacks (25 counting nested stacks) to a single Pipeline Application (Stage) the pipeline references 27 assets and the template grows above CloudFormation's 460,800 bytes limit, blocking the pipeline and making it unusable.

Is there a way to avoid this by compressing the generated template or by splitting it somehow? I'm facing this on a staging stage and production is way bigger

My suspicion is that the assets make the template grow too fast as each of them generates a build action with the whole chain of roles, policies, etc.
