Hotswap + AppSync: Support for Hotswapping AppSync Resolvers and Functions with Code instead of VTL templates

[alharris-at]

Describe the feature

In 2022, AppSync launched support for Code-based resolvers, initially supporting Javascript runtimes. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appsync/latest/devguide/resolver-reference-overview-js.html. It looks like Code-based resolvers don't work with Hotswap, which we'd like to enable for easier iteration by customers.

Use Case

I'd love to have a more fluid iteration experience while working on the business logic for my AppSync APIs.

• Hotswap + AppSync: Support for Hotswapping AppSync Resolvers and Functions with Code instead of VTL templates #24111
• Hotswap + AppSync: Support for Hotswapping AppSync Pipeline Resolvers #24112
• Hotswap + AppSync: Support for Hotswapping AppSync Schemas #24113

Proposed Solution

Add 'RUNTIME' and 'CODE' to hotswap capable parameters for AppSync Resolvers and Functions.

Draft PR (which hardcodes the runtime while I was testing) is here fa43af1 though we'll need to figure out why it complains about the 'runtime' input being invalid, and add tests.
