This is an exact copy of issue #64 64 which was closed but is a real point of contention
Assets which are uploaded to the CDK's S3 bucket and ECR repository are never deleted. This will incur costs for users in the long term. We should come up with a story on how those should be garbage collected safely.
Initially we should offer cdk gc which will track down unused assets (e.g. by tracing them back from deployed stacks) and offering users to delete them. We can offer an option to automatically run this after every deployment (either in CLI or through CI/CD). Later we can even offer a construct that you deploy to your environment and it can do that for you.
Proposed usage:
cdk gc [ENVIRONMENT...] [--list] [--type=s3|ecr] Examples:
This command will find all orphaned S3 and ECR assets in a specific AWS environment and will delete them:
cdk gc aws://ACCOUNT/REGION This command will garbage collect all assets in all environments that belong to the current CDK app (if cdk.json exists):
cdk gc Just list orphaned assets:
cdk gc --list
