RequestEntityTooLargeException: Request must be smaller than 5120 bytes for the UpdateFunctionConfiguration operation #212
Description
I'm in the process of updating all of my lambdas to the latest version (0.8.15) to take advantage of the recent addition of support for node 6.10. I have been able to seamlessly upgrade and deploy all but one of my lambda functions with 0.8.15 but the issue with this one function I can trace back to 0.8.12- it works fine up through 0.8.11 and was possibly introduced when #181 was closed.
I'm running node-lambda deploy as an NPM script and as part of its deploy process I set an environment variable that's an HTML document which ends up being a fairly long string; even still, total size of deploy.env is only ~15KB. This method has worked fine up through 0.8.11 and I just can't seem to figure out why it's breaking in post 0.8.11 versions as there's no limit set on the Environment object in the UpdateFunctionConfiguration operation (at least as indicated in the AWS JavaScript SDK docs). I'm going to continue to read through the changes made between 0.8.11 and 0.8.12 to see if I can find a working solution to contribute. In the mean time I figured I should post my issue here in case someone else is experiencing this error or something similar; I did find this closed issue but I can confirm this was working for me up through 0.8.11.

Just want to give a big thanks to all of the maintainers and contributors for the work they put into this project.
