Right but the first thought I had was, couldn’t you fan out and run a lambda for each frame or a group of related frames? (E.g. Batch HLS processing would be really easy!) If so, you’re back to short lambdas again. It’s really the sweet spot for using Lambda after all: lots of big jobs can be broken down into lots of little jobs, etc.

Plausibly. But that might be more effort than just writing the code to ingest a video file (or some other big data blob) in the simplest, most straightforward way possible.
