AWS DNS Adapter

The AWS DNS Adapter is used to create DNS records to manage domains hosted on Route 53.

This adapter is passed in as domain.dns when setting a custom domain.

{
  domain: {
    name: "example.com",
    dns: sst.aws.dns()
  }
}

You can also sepcify a hosted zone ID if you have multiple hosted zones with the same domain.

{
  domain: {
    name: "example.com",
    dns: sst.aws.dns({
      zone: "Z2FDTNDATAQYW2"
    })
  }
}

Functions

Parameters

Returns Object

DnsArgs

override?

Type Input<boolean>

Default false

Set to true if you want to let the new DNS records replace the existing ones.

Tip

Use this to migrate over your domain without any downtime.

This is useful if your domain is currently used by another app and you want to switch it to your current app. Without setting this, you’ll first have to remove the existing DNS records and then add the new one. This can cause downtime.

You can avoid this by setting this to true and the existing DNS records will be replaced without any downtime. Just make sure that when you remove your old app, you don’t remove the DNS records.
