QUESTION: build once run anywhere possible with serverless-webpack?

[ed4becky]

We currently have 5 environments we deploy our lambda functions to (dev, test, uat, stage, prod)

in our CI/CD pipeline we call sls deploy for each one, triggering a webpack build each time.

Is it possible with serverless-webpack to build the functions once, and deploy the single build to each environment? I know some configuration files get built with stage specific names (roles, the arn for each function, others...), but is that a separate part of the process from the webpack build? Or doe the webpack step include stage specific output?

Can I run the package thru webpack once, and include the results in the packaging for each stage?

Any update on this? Currently "serverless deploy" command is triggering a compile, but i would need to refer the already compiled code in "output" folder during deployment. Please suggest

You can install the PR for now; that what I am doing.

[miguel-a-calles-mba]

Here's how I do it.

1. Run sls webpack
2. Zip (or tgz) the .serverless directory and include it as part of the artifacts.
3. Extract the zip package right before deploy time.
4. Deploy sls deploy --no-build to reuse the extracted .serverless directory.

Thanks Miguel!

But sill the --no-build is doing the build before deploy. I configured my package.json with the below 2 scripts

"build": "serverless webpack",
"deploy": "serverless deploy --no-build"

And i give the below commands

npm run build -> For building the code
npm run deploy -> For deploying the code

Please let me know if i am missing any item here
