Amplify: redirect based on environment

Question

Hello, I'm discovering AWS Amplify and I'm surprised that it is not possible yet to write redirects based on the environment.

For example, I'd like that the path `/authors` - on `https://example-dev.website.com` in dev env, and `https://example.website.com` in production env - redirects with a 301 to `https://authors-dev.website.com` in dev env, and `https://authors.website.com` in production.

That way I'd end up with the following redirect in dev:
```json
  {
    "source": "/authors",
    "target": "https://authors-dev.website.com",
    "status": "301",
    "condition": null
  },
```
How to manage the prod redirect without having to duplicate the whole project?

Answer

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Amplify currently doesn't support environment-based redirects. For reverse-proxy redirect, it only support source addresses of paths.

Only Options are to create a new Amplify app for the environment or create your own CloudFront distribution pointing to each of the Amplify CloudFront distributions that handles the redirect for them.
