It wraps Lambda functions as handlers for CloudFormation lifecycle events (Create, Update, Delete), managing the request/response protocol, error handling, and response submission back to CloudFormation. The framework supports both synchronous handlers (onEvent) that complete immediately and asynchronous handlers (isComplete) that poll until a resource reaches a stable state, useful for operations exceeding Lambda's timeout window.\n\nThe package depends on aws-cdk.core, aws-cdk.aws-lambda, aws-cdk.aws-iam, aws-cdk.aws-logs, and several other CDK modules to construct and manage the underlying infrastructure. However, it is important to note that AWS CDK v1 reached end-of-support on 2023-06-01, and this package is no longer being updated. Users should plan migration to AWS CDK v2 rather than starting new projects with this version.","worth_installing":"No \u2014 do not install for new projects. This package is end-of-support (AWS CDK v1 reached end-of-support 2023-06-01) and users are explicitly directed to migrate to AWS CDK v2. Only use if maintaining an existing CDK v1 codebase with no migration path; otherwise, adopt the v2 equivalent to receive updates and security patches."},"id":"aws-cdk-custom-resources","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aws-cdk-custom-resources","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aws-cdk-custom-resources.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aws-cdk-custom-resources/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-06-19","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aws-cdk.custom-resources","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Constructs for implementing CDK custom resources"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":155328,"position":10824,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.204.0"}
