Lambda SnapStart Comes to Container Images, Ending a Packaging Tradeoff
AWS has eliminated a longstanding tradeoff for Lambda functions. Now, Lambda SnapStart extends to container image functions, allowing up to 10 GB of dependencies—a significant increase over the previous 250 MB zip archive limit. Previously, teams faced a difficult choice between ample dependency headroom and achieving sub-second startup times, sometimes resorting to drastic code reductions. This advancement empowers developers to build more robust and feature-rich serverless applications.

AWS Lambda's Self-Managed Code Storage Lifts the Account Quota, Not the Function Size Limit
AWS Lambda users can now significantly expand their data processing capabilities. A recent update allows functions to reference deployment packages directly from customer-managed S3 buckets, effectively eliminating the per-region code storage quota and boosting the default managed storage from 75 GB to 300 GB. Importantly, this enhancement doesn't alter per-function package limits, and the `UpdateFunctionCode` action remains necessary after package replacements.
