AWS Lambda has increased the maximum execution duration for managed instance functions from 15 to 90 minutes, significantly improving support for long-running workloads like media processing and AI inference. While this removes previous architectural compromises, it requires developers to actively manage connection keep-alives, credential renewal, and implement end-to-end idempotency to handle retry risks.

AWS Lambda Managed Instances Extend Timeout to 90 Minutes
- Lambda Managed Instance function timeout limit increased 6x to 90 minutes, covering typical long-running tasks
- Traditional synchronous request timeout limits remain unchanged, applying only to the managed instance mode
- Developers must use tools like Powertools to ensure operation idempotency to mitigate retry amplification risks caused by extended runtimes
