## Alternative to Netlify Lambda
8+
9+
Netlify-Lambda uses webpack to bundle up your functions and their dependencies for you, however this is not the only approach. If you have native node modules (or other dependencies that dont expect to be bundled like [the Firebase SDK](https://github.com/netlify/netlify-lambda/issues/112)) then you may want to try the zipping approach. Read [here](https://www.netlify.com/blog/2018/09/14/forms-and-functions/) and [here for instructions](https://github.com/DavidWells/function-zips/) (more examples [here](https://github.com/netlify/function-bundling-example)) and and look out for more announcements on this in coming months.
