### Question
Our production instance of Amplify runs on WEB_DYNAMIC and we have seen issues with the total cookie size going above 8KB, it throws a RequestHeaderSectionTooLarge error. Changing Cookie settings to "None" from "All" fixes the issue. This happens every time we run a deployment.
We tried to reproduce this in our development instance of Amplify that runs on WEB_COMPUTE. The total cookie size does go above 8KB but we are unable to reproduce the same. Also there's no visibility into CloudFront and other resources in WEB_DYNAMIC.
This leads me to 2 questions
- Does amplify allow higher request header size for WEB_COMPUTE? If so what is it? This let's us understand the constraints we need to be mindful of.
- Can we get an insight on CloudFront settings? And is it possible to modify it using CDK/CloudFormation if we need to?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the documented behavior and limits for WEB_COMPUTE and WEB_DYNAMIC deployments, including the CloudFront settings visible to each mode. The issue is done when it has authoritative answers about request-header limits and whether the relevant CloudFront settings can be inspected or changed through CDK or CloudFormation.
