Custom memory_size for async tasks

[th0th]

tl;dr

Is it possible to set a different memory size (different than memory_size set in zappa_settings.json) for async tasks? If not, is it on the roadmap? I am not sure if AWS Lambda offers such functionality.

A little bit detail

I have custom async tasks that does some heavy tasks asynchronously. If I set the global memory_size accordingly, I am wasting a certain amount of that memory. If I set a low memory_size, then my asynchronous tasks are going to fail.

As I described in the short description of the issue, I am not sure if there is an AWS Lambda limitation, but I it would be lovely to be able to set memory_size as a parameter like @task(memory_size=512) in zappa.async.task decorator or in zappa.async.run.

I think there's a constraint of 1 Lambda Function to 1 Zappa app. If that's true, you'd need to setup another Lambda function and use boto to invoke it.

Edit: Nevermind, I think you simply need to make another Lambda function.

@jwkvam Thanks for the explanation.
