Ability for `Logger` to ship logs to CloudWatch Logs

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. As a developer, I would like for Amplify to support log shipping to CloudWatch logs via the use of Logger. So I can send certain logs (like errors or stack traces) to my AWS account for future analysis.

Describe the solution you’d like This feature would leverage the Cognito integration such that log shipping is done in a secure fashion with temporary credentials. I would like for the Logger to take care of sending logs in batches in the background and support a local cache for lost connectivity.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered I have considered using existing npm packages like https://www.npmjs.com/package/winston-cloudwatch.

This is a must have

Ok, got it. So it sounds like the background ones would be useful but, in the immediate sense, are more like a “nice to have” and the core ask right now is in your own usage of the logger. Does that sound correct?

For the initial implementation at least, I’m thinking it might be best to restrict it to that since having it be automatic for the background Amplify logging will require a lot more work to run through everything…plus it would require some extra thought regarding cloudwatch pricing and log storage.

Like I said, I’m investigating this now and having some discussions with the team on this issue. Don’t hesitate to comment with additional info.
