AWS Lambda missing framework guidance and bundle size limitations

6/10 Medium

Developers often start Lambda projects without frameworks, forcing manual setup of API Gateway and CloudWatch integrations. As architectures grow, the 50MB default deployment size limit becomes a constraint, requiring webpack bundling per function to stay under limits and improve deployment speed.

Query: “What are the most common pain points with AWS for developers in 2025?3/29/2026

One of the biggest mistakes made when creating a serverless architecture using AWS Lambda is writing functions without a framework. When starting out with AWS Lambda large bundle sizes aren't typically a problem, however when your architecture grows and you start to amass a large number of Lambda functions max bundle size starts to become an issue. There is a default deployment size limit of 50MB.
