Function max request payload size?

Support

Hi,

the question is simple, what is maximum payload size in a POST request to a netlify function endpoint?

I’m seeing different values wherever i look:

  • AWS docs list it as either 256kb or 6mb. Lambda quotas - AWS Lambda
  • netlify docs don’t mention this at all, as far as i looked Functions overview | Netlify Docs
  • npm package netlify-lambda limits payload size to 100kB. (i think it defaults to this value in body-parser npm module if i read sources correctly)

what is the actual limit?

Hey there! It’s after hours for me right now but didn’t want to leave you waiting any longer. I’d be inclined to go with the AWS values as nothing else springs to mind RE: a limitation. I do know that our safe upper bound for runtime is 26 seconds but I appreciate that that’s not what you asked!

Easy enough to test, though… :wink:
