<!-- ccr-slack-attribution --> _Requested by **Lakshan Perera** · [Slack thread](https://supabase.slack.com/archives/C023E4L60R3/p1784055775538959?thread_ts=1784055775.538959&cid=C023E4L60R3)_ ## I have read the [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) file. YES ## What kind of change does this PR introduce? Docs update. ## What is the current behavior? Both the "Edge Function bundle size issues" troubleshooting page and the Edge Functions "Limits" page stated only a single **20 MB** limit. In practice, that 20 MB figure applies only to **local bundling** with the Supabase CLI. When a function is deployed via the **Management API or Dashboard**, bundling runs server-side and is capped at **5 MB** due to an infrastructure (Lambda) limit. Customers deploying that way were surprised to hit an error like `Function source code exceeds the maximum deployment size (5 MB). Reduce the size of your function and try again.` even though the docs implied 20 MB was available. ## What is the new behavior? Both pages now state the distinction explicitly: - **Local bundling (Supabase CLI):** up to **20 MB**. - **Server-side bundling (Management API or Dashboard):** up to **5 MB**. The troubleshooting page also adds a "Deploying larger functions" section pointing customers at the workaround: if a function is under 20 MB but over the 5 MB server-side limit, bundle it locally by running `supabase functions deploy` with the `--use-docker` flag to force local bundling and get the higher limit. ## Additional context **How / files changed:** - `apps/docs/content/troubleshooting/edge-function-bundle-size-issues.mdx` — rewrote the intro to describe both limits, added the "Deploying larger functions" workaround section, and fixed the frontmatter `keywords` (replaced `"10MB"` with `"5MB"` and `"20MB"`). - `apps/docs/content/guides/functions/limits.mdx` — updated the "Maximum Function Size" line to list both the 20 MB local and 5 MB server-side limits. Before, both pages said only 20 MB, so customers deploying via the API/Dashboard were surprised by a 5 MB error; after, both pages state the 5 MB server-side vs 20 MB local distinction and point to local bundling as the workaround. --- _Generated by [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code/session_019bBXmQTRBWJbo3UTpfjPLU)_ Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Maintainers
If you are a maintainer of any tools in the Supabase ecosystem, you can use this site to provide documentation for the tools & libraries that you maintain.
DocSpec
We use documentation specifications which can be used to generate human-readable docs.
- OpenAPI: for documenting API endpoints.
- SDKSpec (custom to Supabase): for SDKs and client libraries.
- ConfigSpec (custom to Supabase): for configuration options.
- CLISpec (custom to Supabase): for CLI commands and usage.
The benefit of using custom specifications is that we can generate many other types from a strict schema (eg, HTML and manpages). It also means that we can switch to any documentation system we want. On this site we use Next.js, but on Supabase's official website, we use a custom React site and expose only a subset of the available API for each tool.
