Repository to reproduce the aws lambda bug of non-stop timeout after a first timeout
When the lambda package is too large, after the lambda times out once, it times out forever. It does not matter if you increase the timeout or memory in AWS.
In this repo, the dependencies are large when zipped to upload to AWS in order to reproduce the bug.
copy the aws credentials file like below
cp aws_env.env.rename aws_env.env fill the credentials file that will be used inside your container
Starting the container
docker-compose run --rm bug-lambda-service bashDeploying the application
serverless deployRun the script to continuously invoke the lambda function
python main.pyThen go to AWS console and reduce the timeout to 1 seconds. The function will start to timeout. After it starts to timeout, increate the timeout in AWS' console to something greater than 3 seconds. Even putting it to 30 seconds. It will continue to timeout.
The image below shows the execution of the lamda. Even though it is only a sleep of 2 seconds, after it starts timing out, it never recovers. Even after 10 seconds of waiting time.
