Using pure ESM npm packages in serverless-webpack bundles
Since I was using serverless-webpack along with Prisma's serverless-webpack-prisma helper, this meant a bit of extra Webpack config setup to get it all using the same module syntax without the usual dreaded 'Unexpected token export' or import error from Node.

Migrating a classic Express.js to Serverless Framework
As you can see in the above handler.js file, we're getting CommonJS instead of modern JavaScript or TypeScript. To get these, you need webpack or some other bundler. serverless-webpack exists if you want full control over your ecosystem, but there is also serverless-bundle that gives you a set of reasonable defaults on webpack 4 out of the box. We opted into this option to get us started quickly.

Package your NodeJS Lambda functions individually with esbuild for faster cold-start times
The serverless framework supports an excellent workflow with the serverless-webpack plugin to package your functions individually with webpack. For AWS SAM, it's probably worth checking out the aws-sam-webpack-plugin, but I've found it far simpler to configure esbuild to perform the same task.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing serverless-externals-plugin and serverless-webpack you can also consider the following projects:
chrome-aws-lambda - Chromium Binary for AWS Lambda and Google Cloud Functions
esbuild - An extremely fast bundler for the web
webpack-node-externals - Easily exclude node modules in Webpack
serverless-jetpack - A faster JavaScript packager for Serverless applications.
serverless-plugin-tree-shake - Shake the dependency tree and only package files needed
lambda-layer-sharp - An AWS Lambda Layer for the Sharp node module. Automatically published on updates.
Knex - A query builder for PostgreSQL, MySQL, CockroachDB, SQL Server, SQLite3 and Oracle, designed to be flexible, portable, and fun to use.
aws-sam-webpack-plugin - A Webpack plugin to replace the build step for SAM CLI
