What is the Node.js version you're using?

It seems not a specific problem with Elasticsearch but with Node.js on Lambda and/or the framework used.

AWS Lambda functions have a timeout of 3-900 seconds, with 3 seconds being the default. If your Lambda does not have the timeout configured, and it takes more than 3 seconds to execute, you will get these errors.
