Summary

Currently, the dependabot is configured to update all the npm dependencies daily. We want to decrease this to every 1 week.

Why is this needed?

Reviewing and merging the dependabot PRs is being very time consuming and nothing relevant to us changes in those updates. So, to improve our efficiency, we should reduce the frequency of the updates.

Which area does this relate to?

Automation

Solution

Update the .github/dependabot.yml file to update the aws-cdk and aws-sdk-v3 groups weekly

Acknowledgment

• This request meets Powertools for AWS Lambda (TypeScript) Tenets
• Should this be considered in other Powertools for AWS Lambda languages? i.e. Python, Java, and .NET
