Any idea on how to navigate this? It can't be that the jar is simply full right? :-)

lambdas support docker images with larger limits now

I was hoping not having to make that jump but if all else fails that's definitely an option

Splitting the deps out into a separate layer might be an option as well.

Alas, size is total of all layers so adding layers doesn't help with the 250M limit

the 250M limit is about unzipped

Yeah it's what you get when you unzip the jar

unzip -Zt uberjar.jar

Took me a long time to grok that du -sh doesn't show the right result

they are trying to encourage you to use container images with their asymmetrical limits

Yeah I'm letting go of my resistance to docker after 10 yrs

I thought I could wait this one out but I was wrong about that

i agree that docker is pointless for java

mostly
