@ojboj/serverless-simplify-log-group-policy-plugin v0.1.1

serverless-simplify-log-group-policy-plugin

Fixes "IamRoleLambdaExecution - Maximum policy size of 10240 bytes exceeded" error

This plugin works by modifying the CloudFormation stack before deployment.

It searches for the IamRoleLambdaExecution resource and modifies the only policy attached to this role.

Notably, it simplifies any logGroup statements, keeping other statements that may be a part of this same policy.

Install

$ yarn add --dev @ojboj/serverless-simplify-log-group-policy-plugin

Usage

In your serverless.yml file:

plugins:
  - "@ojboj/serverless-simplify-log-group-policy-plugin"

Explanation

By default, Serverless framework creates such roles:

{
  Effect: "Allow",
  Action: ["logs:CreateLogStream", "logs:CreateLogGroup"],
  Resource: [
    {
      "Fn::Sub": "arn:${AWS::Partition}:logs:${AWS::Region}:${AWS::AccountId}:log-group:/aws/lambda/production-users-createUser:*",
    },
    {
      "Fn::Sub": "arn:${AWS::Partition}:logs:${AWS::Region}:${AWS::AccountId}:log-group:/aws/lambda/production-users-updateUser:*",
    },
    {
      "Fn::Sub": "arn:${AWS::Partition}:logs:${AWS::Region}:${AWS::AccountId}:log-group:/aws/lambda/production-users-deleteUser:*",
    },
    // dozens of identical lines
  ],
}

When you reach a certain project size, deployment will fail since this role will exceed 10 KB limit.

This plugin simplifies the above execution role something akin to this:

{
  Effect: "Allow",
  Action: ["logs:CreateLogStream", "logs:CreateLogGroup"],
  Resource: [
    {
      "Fn::Sub": "arn:${AWS::Partition}:logs:${AWS::Region}:${AWS::AccountId}:log-group:*",
    },
  ],
}
