I published an article on Storyboard’s Dev Blog about how to configure dynamic amounts of ephemeral storage for a Lambda function on a per-invocation basis.

AWS does not let you do this natively. You manually set the amount of storage on the function itself, and then you’re done. You can edit it after the fact, but you can’t change the amount of storage allocated with each invocation.

In the post, I detail (what I think is) a clever solution to this limitation which can save you a significant amount of money in the long run. Hint: it’s built with the Serverless Framework.

Check out the full post in the link below, and let me know what you think!
