Just to provide a bit more context to @kmulka-bloomberg's question, response streaming is supported by lambda since mid 2023: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/introducing-aws-lambda-response-streaming/
@rdettai response streaming is supported with NodeJS runtime only, according to your link. :) And upping the size from 6MB to 20MB looks hilarious.
response streaming is supported with NodeJS runtime only
You're right! At the time they released the feature they only added support for it in the Node runtime. Pretty weird! It is supported in other SDKs now, such as Rust. It should also be doable in Python but strangely I couldn't find any reference about that.
upping the size from 6MB to 20MB looks hilarious
Yes, pushing the limit a few megabytes further is only a minor improvements on that front as you'll probably still need some sort of offloading through S3 for larger responses anyway. Note that the 20MB limit is a soft limit (at least when your not running through API Gateway). It means you can increase it by contacting the support. But it's probably not a very good idea as payloads above 6MB are throttled to 2MBps.
Note that the benefit of having a streamed response is not just for transferring larger payloads, it's also interesting to
Is there any support for streaming response output? Like websockets, server-sent events, or similar?
