@Frank Side note: I would love to talk to you more about how we have our static sites overcoming this Lambda@Edge limitation and its working really well so far.

Hey @Dan Van Brunt, yeah it’s been a while since our last chat. We’ve made some improvements to the

StaticSite

since. It also helps you dynamically link the deployed urls, cognito config, etc with your frontend.

overcoming this Lambda@Edge limitation

Do you mean the edge functions not getting removed immediately on stack removal? I’d love to chat more about it.

@Frank Yes. First starters… we’ve built a routing edge-Lambda that provides the same functionality as Netlify’s

_redirects

file then deployed that “once-per-account” in aws. Then use that same edge lambda for all projects. This allows for project specific redirects, rewrites & proxies via that project’s

_redirects

file, but since the lambda is only deployed once… each project does not need to

delete

a replica, only the distro using it. Eg. clean, no error CFN stack deletes

Further to that, we have noodled a scenerio that might work if you HAD to have a project specific edge-lambda: You could set those functions to

retain

in the stack, allowing the stack to delete without error. And then use either a custom resource to kickoff a process to “delete function after 2hrs” or use have a similar process kicked off based on a CloudTrail event for a stack with a retained lambda being deleted.
