Question: Reusing webpack zip files

[tusamcalles]

This is a Question

Description

Is there a way to reuse the .webpack folder? I would like to build the .webpack and re-use, such that the sls package process does not rebuild the individual function zip files.

@tusamcalles this sounds like #398 - there is a PR open #560 which should implement support for using the --no-build flag when you run serverless-deploy which will re-use the existing output generated by serverless webpack.

Feel free to try it out and let me know how it works for you.

I am currently using this feature across a number of services in production.

This is exactly what I was looking for. It works great!
