Lambda Managed Instances quotas

LMI carries separate quotas from default Lambda. Some values are fixed; others can be raised through Service Quotas. Treat this page as orientation — numbers change with AWS releases.

For authoritative tables and increase procedures, use Lambda Managed Instances quotas as the product reference.

These limits apply across all capacity-provider control-plane calls in aggregate (create, update, describe, delete, etc.).

LimitValue (per AWS)Adjustable
Combined read API rate15 requests per secondNo
Combined write API rate1 request per secondNo

Plan automation (Terraform applies, CI) so you do not burst into throttling.

ResourceQuota (per AWS)Adjustable
Capacity providers per account1,000Yes (where AWS allows)
Function versions per capacity provider100No

The per-provider version cap shapes how many published versions you can attach to a single pool of capacity.

LMI supports event sources including SQS, DynamoDB Streams, Kinesis, MSK, and self-managed Kafka; throughput and mapping counts have LMI-specific caps.

AreaExample quota (per AWS)Adjustable
Standard SQS ESM throughput5 MB/sNo
Standard Kafka ESM throughput1 MB/sNo
Standard Kafka ESM count100 mappingsNo
Kinesis ESM throughput25 MB/sYes
DynamoDB ESM throughput10 MB/sYes
Async invoke throughput5 MB/sYes

Use the product page for the full matrix and any new rows.

Where AWS marks a quota increaseable, use the Service Quotas console for AWS Lambda and open a quota increase request with justification.
