You should in generally not need to "capture" them, you should be able to just load them from "inside".

As a quite general point, it is worth trying to keep the amount of data that is captured by your automatic lambdas to a minimum.

The specifics here likely depend on how your code is structured - but I'd be surprised if you cannot accomplish what you want here by loading the desired librarires inside and capturing only "data" from the ambient environment.

I'm confused, at least from idiomatic TypeScript. Are you saying to `require()` them inside the lambda environment?

I must be misunderstanding the mechanism behind hoisting libraries (tbh I'm not even sure whether you call doing so capturing, hoisting, etc!). It's pretty magical. :wink:

If you haven't yet - see <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/serializing-functions/#capturing-modules-in-a-javascript-function> and the rest of that page generally.

Aha. I went looking, but somehow missed that one. Thanks.
