09/01/2021, 4:53 PMWe have custom c/c++ libraries that we have put in a container. Layers is not a good fit for us as the size of the code itself with the libs is a bit less than 400MB.

09/01/2021, 4:55 PMLambdas definitely work for us based on the sporadic access pattern to this functionality and currently we are using the serverless framework to take care of the bundling and deployment. I am investigating the potential to switch over here.

That said, one thing you can consider is deploying an sst.Function in local mode only. So then it wouldn't be packaged in a docker container since all the resources are available locally. Then when deploying for real, you can swap it out with a normal cdk function that uses docker
