**Cloud sandbox environments** are designed for development purposes and are not intended for production workloads. To accelerate deployments, Amplify utilizes **CDK hot swapping** where supported, enabling rapid updates to resources such as AWS Lambda functions and AWS AppSync resolver templates without requiring a full redeployment.

- **Amazon DynamoDB GSI Operations:** In sandbox environments (but not in production), modifying or deleting a Global Secondary Index (GSI) is a time-intensive process. To simplify this, Amplify drops and recreates the table instead of modifying the index.

- **Amazon Cognito User Pool Changes:** Unsupported modifications, such as deleting a required field, result in Amplify dropping and recreating the user pool to ensure a consistent and functional configuration.
