CDK: switch to CloudFront EdgeFunction

See original GitHub issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. At the moment, CDK stacks have to be deployed to us-east-1 because of the Lambda@Edge function.

Describe the solution you’d like The CloudFront module provides a (experimental) EdgeFunction module that behaves exactly like a normal Function, however if the stack is deployed to a region that isn’t us-east-1, it will isolate the function into a new stack and create the function in the correct region.

Current blockers I’ve tried to switch to EdgeFunction locally, and there are a few issues:

~~version aliases clash (issue)~~ fixed
role circular dependency (issue)

Re the circular dependency, the only solution seems to be using another stack and importing the role in. We could have ‘support’ constructs that go into a separate shared stack, which would also solve #947.

Hey Arjun, this sounds great. I’m hesitant to jump in a use an experimental module, although either way, I’ll have a play with this myself.
