Describe the bug

Tried to follow the guidance in the docs but I keep getting a deployment error that my lambdaFunction causes a cyclic dependency.

Reproduction steps

Note that the types for the defineFunction do not accept resourceGroupName so we had to use as any to get type checking to pass.

// Example: website/amplify/functions/post-authentication-trigger/resource.ts
import { defineFunction } from "@aws-amplify/backend";

// We put this function trigger into the auth resource group to break a cyclic dependency
export const postAuthenticationTrigger = defineFunction({
  name: "post-authentication-trigger",
  entry: "./handler.ts",
  resourceGroupName: "auth", // Also tried "data"
} as any);

import { defineBackend } from "@aws-amplify/backend";
import { auth } from "./auth/resource";
import { data } from "./data/resource";
import { storage } from "./storage/resource";
import { postAuthenticationTrigger } from "./functions/post-authentication-trigger/resource";

const backend = defineBackend({
  auth,
  data,
  storage,
  postAuthenticationTrigger,
});

// Pass table name as environment variable
backend.postAuthenticationTrigger.addEnvironment(
  "USERPROFILE_TABLE_NAME",
  backend.data.resources.tables.UserProfile.tableName,
);

// Grant permissions for the function to write to the UserProfile table
backend.data.resources.tables.UserProfile.grantWriteData(
  backend.postAuthenticationTrigger.resources.lambda,
);
