aws CodeDeploy error : Artifact [Source] exceeds max artifact size

Question

When I run the pipeline the deploy step fails. When I click on the "details" link a popup appears and the error message :

"Action execution failed Artifact [Source] exceeds max artifact size"

I have tried to google for the error message, searched stackoverflow, read about the limitations etc.

Any tips or advice?

CodePipeline has a limit of 512MB if you're deploying to Elastic Beanstalk, 1GB if your source artifact is from a git repo, and 2GB if your source artifact is an S3 bucket.

Perhaps you can find a way to reduce the size of your artifact by removing files that are not needed in production.
