Hi, @econic. We are transparent that Netlify Functions run on AWS Lambda. For example the “Default deployment options” section of the Function documentation linked to below:

https://docs.netlify.com/functions/overview/#default-deployment-options

Quoting that page:

By default, all functions are deployed with:

  • us-east-1 AWS Lambda region
  • 1024MB of memory
  • 10 second execution limit for synchronous functions
  • 15 minute execution limit for background functions

The limitation in this case is documented by AWS in the Lambda documentation here:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/gettingstarted-limits.html

That is noted in this same thread back in August:

About this:

This is a long-standing limit of Lambda. We cannot change it. We don’t make that limit; AWS sets that limit. If the limits of Lambda do not meet your requirements then you will need to find different infrastructure to run your code.

Hey there, @econic :wave:

I wanted to follow up and share that our Docs team has updated our documentation to include payload requests and response limits. You can see it here:

Thanks again for sharing your feedback with us.
