serverless-bundle v5

The ever popular serverless-bundle plugin has a new major update. The v5 release features a slew of improvements, support for esbuild, Webpack 5, etc.

We open sourced the serverless-bundle plugin a little over two years ago. It provides a zero-config way to bundle your Lambda functions with Webpack, without having to maintain dozens of packages or configs. Since it’s launch, it’s grown to become one of the most popular Serverless Framework plugins.

Earlier this week, thanks to some amazing community contributions, we released v5 of the plugin.

It features:

• Support for esbuild via the esbuild-loader Webpack plugin. This can really speed up your builds.

• Using esbuild to minimize functions. Further reducing the size of a Lambda function.

• Update to Webpack 5.

• Support for serverless-webpack’s concurrency setting.

• And much more. Head over to the release notes for more details.

A huge thanks to Thomas Schaaf for helping put this together!
