hey, one issue I am facing using `pulumi` is the my node_modules are not getting uploaded to aws `lambda`. I was wondering if anyone has solved this or point me to some kind of solution of uploading the `node-modules` as my `serverless` function keeps giving me `module not found error`

can you share your code (with confidential info redacted)?

```import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import { main } from "../src/index";

const config = new pulumi.Config();

const lambdaRole = new aws.iam.Role("lambdaRole", {
  assumeRolePolicy: aws.iam.assumeRolePolicyForPrincipal({
    Service: "<http://lambda.amazonaws.com|lambda.amazonaws.com>",
  }),
});

const lambdaRolePolicy = "the policy"


const someService = new aws.lambda.CallbackFunction("service-name", {
  runtime: "nodejs14.x",
  role: lambdaRole,
  callback: main
});


const someServiceSchedule: aws.cloudwatch.EventRuleEventSubscription = aws.cloudwatch.onSchedule(
  "service-name",
  "rate(30 minutes)",
  someService,
);```


I don't see where your function code is getting uploaded; I see the `callback: main` part, but that's not code getting uploaded. See if these docs help: <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/aws/api-docs/lambda/function/#basic-example>

(uploading the code directory as a file archive)

I see. It was uploading to the lambda function. Now I have also used the file archive, but in that case, do I also have add node_modules too? or just the js mapped files?

so I did use the `file archive` method to upload the function. Even after that, it says `module not found` . Do I have to explicitly also add `node_modules` for my lambda function to work?

You do have to add the `node_modules` directory based on what I'm seeing in the AWS docs: <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/nodejs-package.html#nodejs-package-dependencies>
