Hello! 👋 We're using Seed for two projects (awesome tool, thank you!) and I have a question about unqualified vs qualified Lambda ARN... We have

project-serverless

repo which contains our serverless services. Then we have

project-main

repo which contains EventBridge and some other resources in a regular CFN template. So we're deploying updates to

project-serverless

through Seed, and then exporting the ARN for those Lambdas in

serverless.yml

and importing them into

project-main

. I ran into some cross-stack dependency errors when trying to import the qualified ARN into

project-main

, and then doing another deploy to

project-serverless

. So now I'm importing the unqualified ARN (without the Lambda version number at the end) into

project-main

, so

project-main

is always pointing to the LATEST version of the Lambda. And that solves the cross-stack dependency errors, so now I'm able to do deploys to

project-serverless

and everything seems to work. 👍 Question: Will importing the unqualified ARN in

project-main

cause us any issues down the road? Is it possible that at some point on prod as we're deploying updates to

project-serverless

through Seed that LATEST may not be deployed on prod? Hope that makes sense. Thank you for the help! 🙂

Hey @Anthony Xiques, with the versioned ARN, are you getting an error where once set, u can’t update the export value to the new version?

Hi @Frank, yes exactly. When I tried to run another deploy via Seed, the stack for my serverless service threw this error:

Export xyz-dev-XyzLambdaFunctionQualifiedArn cannot be updated as it is in use by project-main-dev

I havne’t used versions extensively, but AFAIK as long as the ARN is imported in

project-main

, you actually won’t be able to remove that Lambda function in

project-serverless

.

Thanks! I guess the clearer question would be... is it possible for any version of a Lambda other than LATEST version to be deployed to prod via Seed?

LATEST is like an alias that ALWAYS points to the latest version. So you can have multiple versions deployed, and LATEST will point to the most recent versionl

okay got it. so I think I'm good to go for now 🙂 thank you!
