Troubleshooting custom domain using Zappa

I’m doing some troubleshooting for a custom domain (purchased via Google). I’ve updated the custom resource record in Google, done the route 53 + AWS cert manager steps, and ran zappa certify (as well as zappa update). My first thought… is it supposed to show the AWS link after the custom domain: e.g.,

Your updated Zappa is live!: https://customDomain.com (https://abc123.amazonaws.com/dev)

At the moment, the amazonaws link still works, but the custom domain does not. Curious if this could indicate anything per anyone’s experience?

Solution 1:

Resolved my own issue ... simple mistake.

In Google Domains, I was using 'Default Name Servers' with CNAME customer records. Instead, I needed to use 'Custom Name Servers' and activated the 4 names servers from route 53. Hopefully this helps anyone who encounters similar troubleshooting w AWS/Google/Zappa!
