Describe the feature

I would like to add an option to defineFunction to specify the size of ephemeral storage.

defineFunction({
  entry: './test-assets/default-lambda/handler.ts',
  ephemeralStorageSize: 1024, // <- like this
})

See:

• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_lambda.Function.html#ephemeralstoragesize
• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-lambda-function-ephemeralstorage.html

Use case

When using defineFunction with Amplify Gen2, function has an ephemeral storage size of 512 MB. I will get an error No space left on device when dealing with large size files in Lambda functions. I would like to increase the size of the ephemeral storage with ephemeralStorageSize option.

Hey @fossamagna, thank you for filing this issue and the contribution. Marking this as feature request.

For folks looking to increase this you can override/extend the configuration on the backend.ts filke

const backend = defineBackend({
  myFunction,
});

backend.myFunction.resources.cfnResources.cfnFunction.ephemeralStorage = {
  size: 1024,
};

@ykethan Thanks for showing us how to do the configuration. I would be happy to review your Pull Request for this issue.
