APMSVLS-212 Reducing Python Lambda Layer Size by rithikanarayan · Pull Request #667 · DataDog/datadog-lambda-python
What does this PR do?
Applies strip --strip-unneeded to all .so files included in the Python lambda layer.
Motivation
Frequent increases in Python lambda layer size, exceeding checks.
Stripping binaries further (originally only applied strip --strip-debug) can reduce the unzipped layer size by about 2.5MB.
Testing Guidelines
Ran serverless e2e tests and manually inspected traces on a Python sample app. Manually checked that profiling and appsec still produced appropriate output. Used layer arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:425362996713:layer:Python312-strip-unneeded-rithika:1 on an ARM Python 3.12 lambda function.
