Lambda@Edge limits are different depending on the event type. For origin req/res is pretty much the same as regular #Lambda. For Viewer req/res it's much more restrictive: - Memory: 128MB - Timeout: 5s - Size of resp: 40KB - Compr. size of code: 1MB #serverless

If you know your workload won't change you can save up to 80% just by reserving EC2 machines in advance. Purchase one-year or three-year term #AWS Reserved EC2 Instances directly in the AWS console. You can pay all upfront, partially or just on a monthly basis.
