Appsync

Describe the feature you'd like to request

It would be really great if there's a way to have an unexpirable api key so i don't have to get a 401 response from the app when requesting queries, mutations or anything related to that.

Describe the solution you'd like

I think that an unexpirable API Key would be the best solution

Describe alternatives you've considered

Or maybe have it as a built-in function to repeatedly request for the latest API key if its not expired otherwise generate one when it does.

Additional context

@chrisbonifacio mentioned to me this article about creating a lambda function for this feature to happen but i wanted it to be included with Amplify instead

Is this something that you'd be interested in working on?

Hey, there is a effort currently in place to support rotatable API key with Amplify CLI. Please refer to #598 for additional information. Implementing a unexpirable API key would not follow API best practices.
