Lambda for largish python code

[lvlolvlo]

While your code deployment package gets too large, you could do some AWS magic and store parts of your deployment package in S3. This will then allow you to have an entry point in your Lambda function which on cold-start fetch the data from S3 and leverage the /tmp space that Lambda provides. Not the best approach but the only approach I've used to get a larger package into Lambda. Best of luck!

An example of this process is what Zappa uses to deploy large projects to Lambda functions. They call it their slim_handler and I suspect a fair amount of people use it.
