API retainDeployments param does not work

[Cheng Huang]

Hi there,

I just found that the retainDeployments in the API CDK construct doesn't work.

The stack for a demo is below:

import { ApiGatewayV1Api } from 'sst/constructs'

 const api = new ApiGatewayV1Api(stack, 'Api', {
    cdk: {
      restApi: {
        restApiName: 'demo-api',
        description: 'Demo API',
        retainDeployments: true,
      },
    },
  })

api.addRoutes(stack, {
    ... 
})

Then jump to the AWS console, I can see only one deployment is there, no matter how many new deployments/changes have been made.

Can someone please look into it? Keeping the old deployment resources is extremely important for the production environment.

Thanks,

Where did you find the retainDeployments prop btw? Can I see a link to it?

Ah I see. Let me ask the team to take a look.
