Describe the feature
When using the AppStagingSynthesizer, staging resources that live alongside your cdk app do not get deleted when the app gets deleted. This is because these resources are not empty, and CloudFormation cannot delete un-empty S3 buckets and ECR repos.
We solve this problem in the CDK with custom resources, but these custom resources are assets themselves that need to live in a staging bucket. This creates a chicken-and-egg problem for the AppStagingSynthesizer, because there's nowhere to put the cleanup custom resource asset.
Use Case
Users using cdk deploy and cdk destroy on the AppStagingSynthesizer as part of development. We don't destroy the staging resources, so the user has to manage their deletion themselves. Otherwise, if you cdk deploy a resource with the same name, cdk deploy will fail.
Proposed Solution
Potentially, we can minimize these custom resources and provide them as inline code directly in the template. If we can do that, we can clean up staging resources on deletion and remove a big friction point for users.
