How to deploy a specific stack using AWS SDK?

Question

In my AWS CDK/ Typescript project I have 1 main stack i.e. aws-microservices-stack.ts

rest all typescript files are just constructs extended in aws-microservices-stack.ts

But when I run cdk deploy I get error

Since this app includes more than a single stack, specify which stacks to use (wildcards are supported) or specify --all Stacks: AwsMicroservicesStack · AwsMicroservicesStack/Database · AwsMicroservicesStack/Microservices · AwsMicroservicesStack/ApiGateway

How can I mark aws-microservices-stack.ts so that deploy command picks up only that stack

aws-microservices-stack.ts

import { Stack, StackProps } from 'aws-cdk-lib';;
import { Construct } from 'constructs';
import { SwnApiGateway } from './apigateway';
import { SwnDatabase } from './database';
import { SwnMicroServices } from './microservices';

export class AwsMicroservicesStack extends Stack {
  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: StackProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);

    const database = new SwnDatabase(this, 'Database');
....

  }
}

database.ts

import { RemovalPolicy, Stack } from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import { AttributeType, BillingMode, ITable, Table } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-dynamodb';
import { Construct } from 'constructs';


export class SwnDatabase extends Stack {

  public readonly productTable: ITable;
  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string) {
    super(scope, id);

    // DynamoDb Table
    const productTable = new Table(this, 'product', {

      partitionKey: {
        name: 'id',
        type: AttributeType.STRING
      },
      tableName: 'product',
      removalPolicy: RemovalPolicy.DESTROY,
      billingMode: BillingMode.PAY_PER_REQUEST
    });

    this.productTable = productTable;


  }
}

You can't "mark" it for deployment, you need to specify which stack to deploy with:

cdk deploy $yourstackname

The names of the declares stacks are listed by

cdk ls
