The limit remains unchanged for traditional synchronous requests.</p> <i>By Renato Losio</i> Serverless AWS Lambda Cloud AWS Event Driven Architecture Cloud Computing Development Architecture & Design news Sat, 19 Sep 2026 09:11:00 GMT https://www.infoq.com/news/2026/09/lambda-90-minute-timeout/?utm_campaign=infoq_content&utm_source=infoq&utm_medium=feed&utm_term=Serverless Renato Losio 2026-09-19T09:11:00Z /news/2026/09/lambda-90-minute-timeout/en https://www.infoq.com/news/2026/09/lambda-snapstart-container-image/?utm_campaign=infoq_content&utm_source=infoq&utm_medium=feed&utm_term=Serverless <img src="https://res.infoq.com/news/2026/09/lambda-snapstart-container-image/en/headerimage/generatedHeaderImage-1789052932475.jpg"/><p>AWS has extended Lambda SnapStart to container image functions, which hold up to 10 GB against 250 MB for zip archives.
