    By default, Serverless Webpack doesn't support externals, but Webpack can use Webpack Node Externals to exclude all modules from the bundle. All included modules have to be allowlisted, but this plugin doesn't look at subdependencies. When used with custom.webpack.includeModules, the non-allowlisted modules are added to the deployment zip.
