05/23/2022, 7:17 PM@Frank @Jay Would you also be interested in a guide how to specify a custom bucket for CDK assets? This was another one of my pain points before as we might have many projects. The serverless framework allowed using 1 customizable deployment bucket for all.
The current documentation covers an option for debug payloads, but not for the general CDK deployment bucket that's used for all other assets.

Hey @Klaus, CDK actually only creates 1 bucket per region per AWS account (not per app).

05/23/2022, 8:50 PMHi @Frank - yes, it created 1 bucket during bootstrap (once per region), but we like to customize the bucket name (and do tagging, which I omitted here). The we also like the asset in project specific folders, but not sure if that's a common need or not.

05/23/2022, 8:53 PMThe synthesizer is required for each stack though, as soon as the bucket name had been customized during bootstrap. Otherwise, it just failed for me.
Klaus
05/24/2022, 9:38 PMFor background - we need to follow a naming convention for our buckets, including deployment buckets. The synthesizer seems to be the only way I found to achieve that. It get's a bit repetitive though, when splitting out stacks as each stack requires a new synthesizer instance.

05/24/2022, 9:45 PMThe function below makes it a bit easier now and also creates project specific folders based on our APPLICATION environment variable

05/24/2022, 9:48 PM@Frank @thdxr perhaps having some app method for would be nice later. For now using something like
Copy code
app.stack(ApiStack, bucketSynthesizer(app)).stack(DbStack, bucketSynthesizer(app))...
