meshStack accesses the building block state with every new run or on deletion. With the built-in http backend, you can store the state file within meshStack. This means it won't be necessary to configure an extra backend within your Terraform/OpenTofu sources. In this case meshStack automatically takes care of the state of the building block.

> Additionally, you can also use the natively supported Terraform backend for remote state management if you prefer implementing that configuration.

It is of course possible to also access and manipulate the state with [API Keys](./meshstack.how-to-API-keys.md).
