Hello, I have a step functions running, but all my lambda functions shows as being executed as 1028Mb, whereas I have specifically specified to use 128Mb! What am I doing wrong, here is part of my serverless.yaml

```
service: serverless-ingest

provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs6.10
  iamRoleStatements:
    - Effect: Allow
      Action:
        - s3:*
      Resource: "*"
  environment:
    REGION: ${file(./config.js):${opt:stage}.REGION}

plugins:
  - serverless-step-functions

functions:
  getSignedUrl:
    handler: authorization/index.getSignedUrl
    timeout: 60
    memory: 128
    package:
      artifact: authorization/authorization.zip
    events:
      - http:
          path: get-url
          method: post
          integration: lambda

stepFunctions:
  stateMachines:
    machine:
      StartAt: Choose
      States:
        Choose:
          Type: Task
          Resource: chooseOfBeginning
          Next: ChooseStart
        ChooseStart:
          ....
        UpdateInfo2:
          Type: Task
          Resource: updateDynamoDb
          End: true

```

when i logout the logs, it shows:

```

OK, it is `memorySize:` not `memory:`
