When using `cloud.API`, should I `require` my modules inside the `get` function itself? I tried to use `request` imported on top of the files and it failed with a warning not to close on requires... So I do
```
endpoint.get("/", (req, res) =&gt; {
    const request = require('request');
    request(url, ...
```

Yes - that will work, and is generally recommended currently.  This ensures that you will get exactly this `require` at runtime.  

We are discussing in <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/1588#issuecomment-401968174> an approach which would allow capture of top-level imports to be interpreted as a top-level `require` at runtime - feel free to add in there as well.
