Lambda Managed Instances quotas

LMI carries separate quotas from default Lambda. Some values are fixed; others can be raised through Service Quotas. Treat this page as orientation — numbers change with AWS releases.

For authoritative tables and increase procedures, use Lambda Managed Instances quotas as the product reference.

These limits apply across all capacity-provider control-plane calls in aggregate (create, update, describe, delete, etc.).

Limit Value (per AWS) Adjustable
Combined read API rate 15 requests per second No
Combined write API rate 1 request per second No

Plan automation (Terraform applies, CI) so you do not burst into throttling.

Resource Quota (per AWS) Adjustable
Capacity providers per account 1,000 Yes (where AWS allows)
Function versions per capacity provider 100 No

The per-provider version cap shapes how many published versions you can attach to a single pool of capacity.

LMI supports event sources including SQS, DynamoDB Streams, Kinesis, MSK, and self-managed Kafka; throughput and mapping counts have LMI-specific caps.

Area Example quota (per AWS) Adjustable
Standard SQS ESM throughput 5 MB/s No
Standard Kafka ESM throughput 1 MB/s No
Standard Kafka ESM count 100 mappings No
Kinesis ESM throughput 25 MB/s Yes
DynamoDB ESM throughput 10 MB/s Yes
Async invoke throughput 5 MB/s Yes

Use the product page for the full matrix and any new rows.

Where AWS marks a quota increaseable, use the Service Quotas console for AWS Lambda and open a quota increase request with justification.
