Exceeding size limits (50mb) for Serverless Functions #103

Here's an example of using taking screenshots inside a function, which does not exceed limits: https://github.com/vercel/virtual-event-starter-kit/blob/main/lib/screenshot.ts |

I have a similar setup, but in my case, I keep hitting the 50MB limit, what would be the best approach to make some reduction here? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-
My situation was similar to yours and despite managing to reduce the size below the 50MB limit, if there is a dependency update that increases the size a bit, chances are that the build will fail. This happened to me when I updated to the most recent Next.js version and had a PDF generator coupled in the app. So I ended up moving the PDF generator logic to a separate app. Now I only have these dependencies: The compressed size is 49.4 MB with chrome-aws-lambda 6 and puppeteer 6. It's still a small margin to work it but it's ok (for now). |

For me it happens because it's uploading all my assets in /public to the serverless functions. To avoid it, I have to adding "excludeFiles" to vercel.json. This would be fine if there wasn't a related bug, where excludeFiles can't be applied to "pages/api/*", which is where the serverless functions normally are. What I had to do to fix it is moving all serverless functions to /api (outside of pages), and now excludeFiles is working. But this creates other headaches as now my api functions are not working using "yarn dev". Could you take a look into "excludeFiles" and why it doesn't work on /pages/api? |

Hello there, I seem that I had a related issue and I found what was causing it (at least for me). https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/image-optimization#local-images Well after rolling back to a version where I didn't implement this feature, it fixed the issue for me, in case this can help you. Prior to that I was just reducing the amount of pages that could appear in the dynamic route that was throwing the error; so if I had /[post].js, instead of having 30 posts I was chopping it down to 15 (less images in total) so I didn't get this error, If anyone can explain better why statically importing images with the "require" statement was causing this issue, I would love to understand it better. Kind regards |

Hi Mr. Robinson! We have an api route that is very small and simply sends an email and should not exceed any limits. This is our api route: https://github.com/New-Millenia-Consulting/operation-medical-care/blob/main/pages/api/contact.ts However, I believe this is simply due to incorrect reporting of the error. What was actually happening was that we had a page that was statically importing many many images for Next 11's image blurs. See this commit. Once we changed all of these static imports back to standard string sources, the build passed. So I believe that in our case, the serverless function generated for the about page (in the commit linked) is the function actually exceeding the limit. There is nothing wrong with the Edit: There have been a few commits since the issue but I am able to find the exact commits where the issue occurs if you would like something reproducible. |

I have a randomly appeared warning about 50mb as well on next12 and python. Why is it randomly? If I press "redeploy" button on the build page of my project, it can go well. Actually, it always goes well if I press "redeploy". from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler

It's such a shame, since ContentLayer is a brilliant concept and would save a lot of stress with projects like this, but it's not production ready for large sites. |

I'm new to Vercel and trying to see if this 50 MB stuff is a deal-breaker before I spend more time on the platform. I have 2 separate backend APIs for different purposes: 1 in Node and 1 in python. For the python serverless functions, I only see a way to specify a single requirements.txt file in the root of the project. Is there a way to do this per lambda instead? Specifically, I have some routes involving auth libraries, and others involving computation with numpy etc. Including all this gets me to 60 MB. I'd like to have separate requirements files per lambda, and then I could set up multiple functions, each with a minimal set of dependancies, to help stay below the limit. Is this possible? |

|
The 50MB is not Vercel specific, it's AWS. As long as AWS doesn't change the limit, the only way out to deploy a lambda function larger than the limit is to package the serverless function as a container image. |

I disagree in the sense that Vercel doesn't let me do the normal things in
python to limit the package size. Specifically, I have multiple backend API
functions and normally I could give each one a different requirements.txt
and limit the packages, but Vercel requires everything to be bundled
together and only allows a single requirements.txt. for example. Overall
it seems like the python support is super basic, so for anything like this
I'm on my own.

Hey everyone! I wanted to merge a few separate discussions into one. Occasionally, if you include large dependencies inside your functions, it can exceed the current max function limit of
50mbon Vercel. For example, a common dependency that causes this is Puppeteer, because it's shipping an entire headless Chrome browser.If you're hitting this issue, you'll often see a message like this:
We recognize that right now, it's difficult to debug why you've exceeded your limit. We are working on providing tooling to assist with debugging the contents of your functions to understand what's contributing to the size.
Note: Next.js specifically bundles all API Routes and server-rendered pages into shared Serverless Functions, separating API routes and server-rendered pages when deployed on Vercel. Additional Serverless Functions are only created if they do not fit within the 50MB limit.
