BReduce the function's timeout
CSwitch to a virtual machine

  1. Step 1: Identify cause of failure

    Exceeding memory limits means the function needs more memory to run properly.

    Increasing memory allocation solves the problem; reducing timeout or deleting function won't help.

    Increase the function's memory allocation -> Option A

  4. Quick Check:

    Memory errors fixed by more memory = C [OK]
Quick Trick: Adjust memory settings to fix memory errors [OK]

  • Reducing timeout instead of memory
  • Switching to VM unnecessarily
  • Deleting function without fixing cause
