Interesting.
I attached an image of the full error message and an image of my Webpack.config file. It won't even let me deploy to lambda since there is the Webpack compilation error. There are 5 errors and each error is for a file in chrome-aws-lambda/source/puppeteer/lib/ directory.

Additionally, how might I put the transpiling on server side compared to how it would be now? That I am also unfamiliar with.

And thank you for the help. I'm an intern and junior in college and this is my first three weeks working in NodeJs!

Hmm, could you try to reshare the images? For some reason they didn't end up to the post.

Also is there any specific reason you are using webpack for aws lambda? It might be that you don't even need it.

Honestly you are right - I am trying with a clean slate and new service without Webpack to hopefully avoid this headache. I will let you know!

I just want to say thank you because I have been trying to figure out how to make it work for the past day and a half. I just isolated it into its own service without Webpack and it worked in less than 10 minutes.
