Serverless Esbuild

In 2021, I spent a bit of time helping with serverless-esbuild, a Serverless Framework plugin that uses esbuild to bundle Lambda functions (rather than the default iused webpack).

My main contribution was optimizing the bundle flow for individual packaging — a large feature PR that reworked how the plugin handled per-function bundling. I then submitted various PRs over the course of a year, and was active in the community.

This is important to me because this was my first meaningful collaboration to open source.

Interesting how all this seems very antiquated now.
