Amplify allows the uploading of .ZIP, URL or S3 locations as source via the console but this is not accessible via the CDK.

Use Case

We are looking to have a git trunk model where changes are built and then deployed to multiple stages via a CDK CodePipeline. We have 3 Amplify applications; one for each stage. We do not have a way currently with the CDK to perform a manual ZIP/S3 upload for Amplify site generation but this is possible via the UI.

The case will be that we would package our Amplify app source code using CodeBuild in a CodePipeline step and store the output on S3. The CDK for each stage will then use this asset for deployment rather than a Git repository. This will ensure that exactly the same code is being deployed to all 3 stages at the time we wish to deploy.

Using this functionality we avoid using Amplifies auto-build on push of branch in favour of an artefact that is managed by a CodePipeline.

Proposed Solution

New sourceCodeProvider referencing a CodeBuild Asset or S3 file location.
Amplify app to deploy asset on update.
