Not a huge deal but:

08/10/2021, 2:27 PMMaybe use versioning instead of invalidation https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57643059/how-does-versioning-work-on-amazon-cloudfront? I think Serverless Stack's StaticSite construct uses this technique

08/10/2021, 2:35 PMI think the StaticSite construct actually does create an invalidation through a custom resource

Hey @brent, this is not even the Invalidations. This is just updating the CF distribution to point to a new folder in S3 bucket. The invalidation comes after this, and is done in a custom resource. The actual invalidation part we have control over and can skip. But this updating the CF distribution is done via CloudFormation.

Are you consistently getting 10min? I’ve been seeing ~1min or lesser.

08/10/2021, 5:44 PMnot always 10 minutes nope. Pretty varied actually.

08/10/2021, 5:45 PMprobably more often around ~1 minute, I just noticed more when it's taking its time.

Let me open an issue for this https://github.com/serverless-stack/serverless-stack/issues/673

Not sure about how we are going to fix this yet, but let’s start looking for ways to speed up StaticSite deploy time.. I agree.. it’s pretty slow right now

08/10/2021, 5:56 PMthanks! fwiw, it's not a huge issue for me or anything. And can somewhat agree with thdxr on Github. Just wanted to see if there was any sort of configuration that I didn't know about.

08/11/2021, 9:43 AM@Frank are there any milestones for adding StaticSite custom domain/ssl support for domains outside of Route53? We're currently using what is called 'premium domain' by the vendor (short .co one, and a national one that is still not available in Route53:)) with no way to migrate and I've been struggling with a Custom Resource that's meant to edit the distribution configuration post creation (the cdk construct is just readonly) with no avail so far

Hey @Lukasz K, yes in this thread, @Warwick Grigg got a workaround working. And he’s working on a PR to make it easier
