Yes - because the awsx `API` helper creates both the rest api and the routes at once, I don’t believe there is any way to break this cycle currently. You would need to do something like use an additional data store for this - like parameter store or s3 or dynamodb. 

If you wouldn’t mind opening an issue on this - it’s come up a couple times recently - and would be good to look into ways to enable it more seamlessly.
