docker image in lambda function in amplify gen2

[cookiejest]

Environment information

want to create a lambda function that has larger dependencies than 250mb (the layer limit).

Is there a way to specify a docker image for the lambda function using amplify gen2? I cannot find any information or example of how to do it in the docs.

What is the best way to deal with this scenario within gen2?

Hey @cookiejest, thank you for reaching out. Amplify currently does not support using docker image on Lambda function. Marking this as feature request.

You may have to create a custom function using the Lambda cdk construct and use the From* to refer to an existing image(for example: Ecr) on the code property as Amplify console currently does not support running docker commands on the build process.

for example:

const imagesr = lambda.DockerImageCode.fromEcr(
      ecr.Repository.fromRepositoryName(this, 'testname', 'test'),
    );

const fn = new lambda.DockerImageFunction(this, "someLambda", {
      code: imagesr,
    });
