amazon web services - AWS Lambda Error: Unzipped size must be smaller than 262144000 bytes

Question

I am developing one lambda function, which use the ResumeParser library made in the python 2.7. But when I deploy this function including the library on the AWS it's throwing me following error:

Unzipped size must be smaller than 262144000 bytes

Answer 1

Perhaps you did not exclude development packages which made your file to grow that big.

I my case, (for NodeJS) I had missing the following in my serverless.yml:

package:
  exclude:
    - node_modules/**
    - venv/**

See if there are similar for Python or your case.
