Tuning memory and timeout
Lambda performance and cost depend heavily on configuration. Memory size affects not only available RAM, but also CPU allocation — Lambda allocates CPU proportionally to memory. Timeout protects you from runaway executions by capping how long a single invocation can run.
In this exercise, you'll adjust memory and timeout on your function and answer a question about how memory impacts performance.
