## Netlify Lambda

This is an optional tool that helps with building or locally developing [Netlify Functions](https://www.netlify.com/docs/functions/) with a simple webpack/babel build step. For function folders, there is also a small utility to install function folder dependencies.

The goal is to make it easy to write Lambda's with transpiled JS/TypeScript features and imported modules.

1. each function as a single JS or Go file, possibly bundled by a build tool like `netlify-lambda` or `tsc`

`Netlify-Lambda` uses webpack to bundle up your functions and their dependencies for you, suiting the first approach. However, if you have native node modules (or other dependencies that don't expect to be bundled like [the Firebase SDK](https://github.com/netlify/netlify-lambda/issues/112)) then you may want to try the other approaches. In particular, try [`Netlify Dev`](https://github.com/netlify/netlify-dev-plugin#what-is-netlify-dev).

- **When to use Netlify Dev**: Part of Netlify Dev serves unbundled function folders through [zip-it-and-ship-it](https://github.com/netlify/zip-it-and-ship-it) with no build step. This is likely to be attractive to many users who previously just needed `netlify-lambda` for bundling multi-file functions or functions with node_module dependencies.
