We store persistent keys an encrypted secrets in our stack configs.

I'm not very familiar with API Gateway, so I apologize if this isn't 100% relevant, but you can mark resources (such as ApiKey) as "protected" to prevent them from being deleted. This might help in this situation too.

Ah, I think <@UDEJ1F5SQ> is right. I was misunderstanding. We have external non-pulumi generated keys we keep in the config. Your `customer1ApiKey` should be fine the way you have it there as it’ll be consistent from run to run stored in the Pulumi state.
