npx remotion lambda functions

The npx remotion lambda functions command allows you to deploy, view and delete AWS lambda functions that can render videos.

You only need one function per AWS region and Remotion version. Suggested reading: Do I need to deploy a function for each render?

deploy

npx remotion lambda functions deploy
npx remotion lambda functions deploy

Creates a new function in your AWS account. If a function in the same region, with the same Remotion version, with the same amount of memory, disk space and timeout already exists, the name of the already deployed function will be returned instead.

By default, a CloudWatch Log Group will be created that will log debug information to CloudWatch that you can consult in the case something is going wrong. The default retention period for these logs is 14 days, which can be changed.

Example output
Region = eu-central-1, Memory = 2048MB, Disk = 2048MB, Timeout = 120sec, Version = 2021-12-17, CloudWatch Enabled = true, CloudWatch Retention Period = 14 days VPC Subnet IDs = subnet-0f6a0f6a0f6a0f6a0, subnet-0f6a0f6a0f6a0f6a1 VPC Security Group IDs = sg-0f6a0f6a0f6a0f6a0, sg-0f6a0f6a0f6a0f6a1
