Lambda for the data connector limits how much data can be pulled

Description:

AWS Lambdas have a 15 minute time limit. This means any data pull that requires the query to run more than 15 minutes cannot be done. There are work-arounds where a big query can be broken down to smaller queries so that it takes 15 minutes to execute. However this can be a time consuming process and limits the scenarios where the data connector can be used.

A better approach for long running jobs is to spin up a virtual machine on demand which is not restricted by the 15 minute time limit.

Use Case:

The ability to run an extraction query for more than 15 minutes will be beneficial for customers that need to send a lot of data to Visier. Currently to send a substantial amount of data to Visier via a data connector requires breaking up the data into multiple pieces, and sending them over in batches.

Mockups/Samples (if applicable):
