AWS Lambda raises the asynchronous function timeout to 90 minutes on Managed Instances
- Sources: primary, discussion
- Summary: AWS raised the maximum Lambda function timeout from 15 minutes to 90 minutes. The longer timeout applies to asynchronous invocations and event source mapping invocations on Lambda Managed Instances. Synchronous invocations keep the 15-minute maximum.
- Why it matters: Batch, transcoding, and inference jobs that needed chunking or step orchestration to fit 15 minutes can now run in a single invocation.
