node.js - Create NestJS Build Without node_modules - Stack Overflow

I'm working on a project using NestJS and deploying it with containers. One of the main challenges I face during deployments is the need to copy the node_modules directory into the container, as it is required for the NestJS application to run.

I am using PNPM, which helps reduce the size of the node_modules directory, but I'm wondering if there's a way to eliminate the need for node_modules entirely in a production-ready build.

Is there any method, tool, or configuration in NestJS or Node.js that allows me to bundle or package my application in such a way that node_modules is not required in the production environment?

Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated!

What I’ve Tried: I have been using Docker for my deployments and copying the node_modules directory into the container as part of the build process. While this works, it increases the container size and build time.

What I’m Expecting: I’m looking for a way to create a production-ready build of my NestJS application that doesn’t require the node_modules directory to be present in the container. Ideally, I’d like to bundle or compile the application in such a way that it includes all necessary dependencies internally, making the node_modules directory redundant in production.

You can use a bundler, like Webpack, to bake whatever node_modules you use into the artifact. It also has the extra benefit of tree-shaking, so it can reduce space requirements.
