If you encounter HTTP Error: 409, it means that a function with the same name already exists in the Catalyst console.

You can either change the name in the `catalyst-config.json` file or delete the existing function in the remote console [**using the CLI**](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cli/v1/working-with-functions/introduction/) or [**directly from the console**](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/serverless/help/functions/introduction)
