AWS Lambda Bundler

aws-lambda-bundler is a JavaScript utility designed to create zip archives for AWS Lambda function deployments. Its primary feature is the explicit exclusion of the `aws-sdk` from the bundled package, aiming to reduce the overall deployment size, as the SDK is often the largest component. The package is currently at version 1.0.12. Released over six years ago, it appears to be no longer actively maintained, with minimal updates or recent community activity. While it offers a simple command-line and programmatic interface for basic bundling, modern AWS Lambda deployment practices typically favor more advanced bundlers like `esbuild` (often integrated into AWS CDK's `NodejsFunction` or Serverless Framework) or `webpack` for their superior performance, tree-shaking capabilities, and better support for contemporary JavaScript features like TypeScript and ESM. These newer alternatives provide more granular control over dependencies and often result in smaller, more optimized bundles and improved cold start times.
