AWS Lambda limits the amount of compute and storage resources that you can use to run and store functions. The following limits apply per-region and can be increased. To request an increase, use the Support Center console.
| Resource | Default Limit |
|---|---|
|
1,000 |
|
|
Function and layer storage |
75 GB |
For details on how Lambda scales your function concurrency in response to traffic, see Understanding Scaling Behavior.
The following limits apply to function configuration, deployments, and execution. They cannot be changed.
