In addition, these file systems can be shared across multiple functions and services. With the new release today, EFS can be attached to Lambda functions, and it exposes a new directory under `/mnt/`, that can handle any file size. Other alternatives could be storing these large files in S3 and handling them in batches, which introduces complications, and performance impacts. According to the AWS Lambda limits, the `/tmp` directory could handle up to 512MB of data, which in many cases is not sufficient. This time, AWS announced the AWS Lambda support for EFS, which gives us a great opportunity to handle much larger files than before. AWS teams help us to continuously improve our experience and capabilities with Lambda functions.
