You can do that with esbuild. Just bundle the handler entry into a single file and esbuild will tree shake the cruft out. That's the approach taken by AWS CDK as well.
Yeah, that always works, of course, even though you might want to externalize certain dependencies still. In this case I don't want to bundle the code (although I might end up doing that, anyway)
You can give esbuild a list of dependencies that you want to be external and it won’t bundle them, I’ve done it with the AWS SDK and it works as expected.
