Can I use layers for all runtimes?

Yes, layers can be used with all supported runtimes in AWS Lambda, but ensure that the layer is compatible with the runtime you are using.

What happens if I exceed the layer size limit?

If you exceed the layer size limit, you will receive an error when trying to deploy the function. You'll need to reduce the size of the layer.

Are there any limits on the number of layers I can create?

There is no specific limit on the number of layers you can create, but keep in mind the total size and the maximum number of layers you can attach to a function.

How do I manage versions of my layers?
