Custom IResolvable to allow for compressing/uncompressing data for lambda environment variables

[tbartley]

In a couple of lambdas, we have hit/are getting close to hitting the 4K environment space limit.

While I accept we may need to look at other mechanisms to pass the information we need in to our lambdas that's a longer term project. In the interim, we wanted to serialise all of our environment data in to a string, compress it, base64 encode it, and set it as a single variable. On paper this would more than halve the space consumed.

However, what we lose is resolution of any tokens in the environment variable values.

I wondered if it were possible to provide a custom IResolvable that would know how to decode the value, resovle any embedded tokens, and re-encode the value.

Alternatively, are there any other suggestions?

Thanks,
