Hello. I’m trying to build a rest api with python (https://github.com/serverless-stack/serverless-stack/tree/master/examples/rest-api-python).

npm run start

works fine but

npm run deploy

gives an error

Resource handler returned message: "Unzipped size must be smaller than 262144000 bytes"

. I’m guessing this is because it is uploading _*node_modules*_ as I’m not using any python imports_*.*_ How can I prevent _*node_modules*_ from being deployed?

Are you using any layers? I literally had the same issue yesterday but using TypeScript. If I referenced a layer and deployed I got that message. I removed the layer, deployed, then re-added it and deployed again and the message went away. https://github.com/agutoli/serverless-layers/issues/51

I’m not using any layers

@Rayaan Hussain for python we upload the entirety of the

srcPath

@Rayaan Hussain Yeah just to expand on that,

node_modules

should be at ur root, and SST is only zipping up

src

as the Lamba package.
