Control how the CloudFront cache is invalidated

[Nyholm]

Start from the Use-case

I am running a single page react app. I have 10 different JS files (chunks) after I build my app.

It is normal that a user request 3-5 js files while they are using a part of the application. When they browse to another part they will download more files.

There is an issue if I decide to deploy a new version. Then the additional files are removed from the S3 and CDN. Now when the user asks for the additional files they get a 404.

I suggest to allow us to keep some files on S3 or CloudFront.
Of course I would be open for alternative solutions

I wonder if we could (and if S3 allows it), instead of deleting "obsolete" files, set them to expire (be deleted) after 1 day 🤔 I haven't researched that at all but that would be a solution that we could apply by default for everyone?
