Day 85 - 88 suggestion: AWS Lambda and API Gateway Limits

ericchou1 opened this issue · 1 comments

I am a big fan of API Gateway + Lambda and have been using it for a while (for example, this blog, https://www.twilio.com/blog/2017/06/build-serverless-api-amazon-web-services-api-gateway.html). But we have hit a few limitations on both Lambda (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/limits.html) and API Gateway (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/limits.html) as we scale up our services. For lambda, the deployment size limit restricts the libraries we can include; and the API key limit on API Gateway limits the number of unique keys we can distribute per region.

Azure Functions and Azure API Management and GCP equivalents, on the other hand, are more relaxed.

Not promoting one cloud or the other, but if I were to think about deployment today, I would definitely take the limitation on each service into consideration. So wonder if you'd like to make a note or two in the README or what not.

Close issue as this is a suggestion.
