A Serverless Function has exceeded the unzipped max size

Help
1

I am including some large packages in my build, namely rehype-starry-night and @wooorm/starty-night, and it seems to be inflating my build massively.

I can see in the build logs that there is a huge webpack cache being copied in, is there some way to ignore or exclude that? I’m confused about how to reduce this size.

Also, I’m confused why .git would be in there at all.

Hey @adamyonk! I shared some related info in another thread.

Please give those tips a try and let me know how it goes :pray:

I think that just removing the .git directory would get these functions under the limit - are there any hooks I can tap into to remove that once the repo is cloned, before that gets unzipped into the different serverless functions?

Using bundle analyzer, here is the client bundle size:

And nodejs bundle size:

I just don’t understand how this could possibly be breaking a 250MB barrier!
