Announcing a Serverless Microservices Template with GraphQL
One of the most important aspects of serverless development is keeping an eye on your bundle sizes and to reduce cold start times on Lambda. Keeping this in mind, the template utilizes serverless-esbuild and serverless-analyze-bundle-plugin to provide function analysis out-of-the-box.

[AWS Lambda] Optimizing node_modules in zip files
Its faster and easier to setup that webpack and drastically reduces the size of the archive. For Serverless framework users there is https://github.com/floydspace/serverless-esbuild and if you use SAM CLI, you already get this for free since they now use esbuild in the build process

Have you noticed that AWS Amplify and NextJS don't seem to get as much attention as they deserve?
If you have the time and resources, I'd suggest to take a look at SST.dev and or OpenNext (created by the SST people). With that ISR should work (although they still seem to work on upgrading to v12). Or take a look at https://github.com/sladg/nextjs-lambda to run NextJS on a lambda exclusively.
