How to handle development to production process with multiple AWS Services

Question

I'm using AWS mobileHub to create an hybrid app with Ionic 3. I don't get how we can handle the production process, Im using all kind of aws services :

AWS MobileHub
AWS Cognito (User login/logout)
AWS API Gateway (Using Lambdas to execute databases request)
AWS Lambdas (Call DynamoDB tables and MYSQL RDS Table, using VPC)
AWS DynamoDB (Store some user info and IOT data)
AWS RDS (Store relational data in MySQL)

Do we have a way to put everything in production ? Here is the idea :

Customer will view the v1.x of the app, and meanwhile the customer is using the v1.x of the app, I want to be able to continue the development of the v1.x+1 without being afraid of breaking the prod services.

I know that API Gateway has a "Stage" system I can use, for example I could create a "developement" and "production" stage, but what about others services ? which are most of the time linked with API Gateway.

Here is my idea so far, but I think this is not optimal :

Create another aws account, dedicated to production, and duplicate all of my services on this account.When I want to deploy a new version I could update all the aws services and push the new code. Problem : Its seems not efficient because I will need to manually modify the services one by one and that can lead to a lot of errors (forget something, need to update services in a certain orders..)

Any best practices ? Any ideas ? I really need to find a strong deployment process. Thanks !

one of the things you could do is create multiple Mobile Hub projects - one for prod, one for staging. Youu can then export the prod project and import it into the staging project.

Thanks, that sounds like a solution for the mobile hub side.. When you export and import a mobile hub project, everything is created again ? – Nawwa Jun 08 '18 at 12:23
