should function building take this long? just over 2 minutes to build these functions, and they’re pretty tiny 😕 this is about how slow Serverless Framework was when I was using

serverless-webpack

..then I switched to

serverless-esbuild

and it would rip through 70+ functions in less than 15-20 seconds

Hey @Sam Hulick, are you setting

bundle.nodeModules

in default function props?

yeah

I think the slowness is caused by

nodeModules

getting installed per Lambda function.

thank you! just so I’m clear..

externalModules

just excludes the dependency completely, and

nodeModules

will throw it into node_modules in the Lambda ZIP, rather than bundle it into the code via esbuild, right?

Yup

maybe a workaround would be to just put

knex

and

pg

into a Lambda layer then, and use

externalModules

SST would create a empty fold, put a

package.json

in there with just

knex

as dependency, and runs

npm/yarn install

, and bundle the

node_modules

with the function

I see. yeah, that would explain the time it takes

Soudns good!
