I have several functions in my serverless app. Two of them are for REST endpoints and one is SQS handler. They all are using the same libraries. So, I want to move them to Lambda Layer and share across functions to reduce size.
I'm using Serverless framework 2.46, TypeScript 4.3 and NodeJS 14. I have the following project structure:
/
- layers/
- nodejs/
- node_modules/
- package.json
- src/
- handlers/ - here are my handlers
- etc...
I've configured TypeScript to import libraries from the layer folder like this import middy from '/opt/nodejs/@middy/core';. Here is my tsconfig
{
"compilerOptions": {
"preserveConstEnums": true,
"strictNullChecks": true,
"sourceMap": true,
"allowJs": false,
"target": "ES2020",
"module": "CommonJS",
"outDir": ".build",
"moduleResolution": "node",
"esModuleInterop": true,
"resolveJsonModule": true,
"experimentalDecorators": true,
"emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
"lib": [
"ES6",
"ES2019",
"ES2020"
],
"baseUrl": ".",
"paths": {
"/opt/nodejs/*": [
"layers/nodejs/node_modules/*"
]
}
},
"exclude": [
"node_modules",
"opt/nodejs/node_modules"
]
}
And have serverless config like this
service: my_serverless-app
frameworkVersion: '2'
useDotenv: true
variablesResolutionMode: 20210326

When I run the app locally via command serverless offline --stage local I have no error, but when I execute an REST endpoint (or any other) I have the following error:
[offline] Loading handler... (D:\Projects\services\.build\src\handlers\ledger)

Also, I have the same problem when I'm trying to deploy the app. What am I doing wrong? Please drop me a link for tutorial how to configure lambda layers properly. Thanks in advance!
Could not resolve "pg-native" (mark it as external to exclude it from the bundle, or surround it with try/catch to handle the failure at run-time). So now I'm trying to figure out how to mark this dependency as an external. – Vitric
