Hey guys, I'm trying to trigger one of our lambdas from cloudtrail events, specifically IAM events. These events only come through on the global region (us-east-1), and so my event bus and pattern needs to be in this region. However the main region for my stacks are in eu-west-1. Any tips on if/how I can achieve this in SST within the same app? With CDK I would just pass in a different region in the env when creating the stack that contains my event bus. Is this possible at all in SST? Or do I need to deploy a separate app for my us-east-1 resources. Thanks.

Hey @James, yeah currently all stack in an SST app are deploy to the same region.

I personally don't think so, it's a lot cleaner to think of a deployment as a set of stacks all in one region. You can always conditionally exclude stuff by checking what region it's deployed to

Yeah for now the conditional is the best way? But this is something we should talk about internally.

Open an issue here to track https://github.com/serverless-stack/serverless-stack/issues/1299

Thanks guys, I'm currently just conditionally deploying the stack as a work around - but i'll try the cdk stack construct and see if that works / looks cleaner. The stack literally consists of a couple of event rules and lambdas, I'd love to have them in the one region but aws decided to only emit certain cloudtrail events in the us-east-1 region. I had a similar issue a few months back with Lambda@edge functions in CDK, which are only deployed to us-east-1 region, but they have a EdgeFunction construct for this which makes it a lot easier to provision from another region. So there are certainly a few use cases for this, I'll keep an eye on the issue - thanks.

hi guys, any update on the topic I'm going into a similar issue and I don't know what's the best way to solve it

@Islam Salem can I get you to post this again in the #help channel with what you are looking for? You can link to this thread there. It helps us better keep track of things. Thanks!
