NODE_ENV production triples bundle size

[ryands17]

I have created a repo here that deploys a GraphQL API using Apollo and Prisma. sls package creates a bundle of around 45 MB but NODE_ENV=production sls package creates a bundle of 128 MB that fails to upload due to Lambda limits. Could anyone help here debug why this is being caused?

Without NODE_ENV:

With NODE_ENV set to production:

Hello @ryands17 👋 I've reproduced this exact issue and I'm pretty sure the NODE_ENV=production alters the output of npm ls runs that are used during dev dependencies exclusion - would you be willing to submit an issue on issue tracker so we can take a closer look and verify if it's a bug? It would be much appreciated 🙇

Sure. Will do :)
