"AWS CRT binary not present" when trying to run bundled server.js in NodeJS application which depends on @aws-sdk/signature-v4-crt

I am working on a NodeJS project which pulls in @aws-sdk/crt-loader as a transitive dependency of @aws-sdk/signature-v4-crt. I am generating a server.js bundle using esbuild. When starting my script via ts-node src/server.ts, it works as expected.

However, when trying to run the bundled version, e.g. node dist/server.js, my application fails to start, giving the error AWS CRT binary not present in any of the following locations: /local/home/******/******/src/bin/linux-x64-glibc/aws-crt-nodejs.node (Note that I'm not sure why this path is the "search path" to begin with as I would expect this search path to be in node_modules).

My esbuild npm script looks like this:

esbuild src/server.ts --outdir=dist --bundle --platform=node

My tsconfig.json, if relevant:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES2017",
    "lib": [
      "es2021"
    ],
    "allowJs": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "strict": true,
    "noEmit": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "moduleResolution": "bundler",
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "isolatedModules": true,
    "incremental": true,
    "paths": {
      "@/*": [
        "./src/*"
      ]
    }
  },
  "include": [
    "**/*.ts"
  ],
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules"
  ]
}

My intuition was that I needed to mark the @aws-sdk/crt-loader as an external by updating my esbuild script to:

esbuild src/server.ts --outdir=dist --bundle --platform=node --external:@aws-sdk/crt-loader

However, this did not resolve my issue.

What steps can I take to troubleshoot and or resolve this issue?

Alternative: Use esbuild-plugin-copy If you prefer not to manually copy the binary, you can use the esbuild-plugin-copy plugin to automate this process. Install the plugin:

npm install esbuild-plugin-copy --save-dev

Solution

Install the npm module that packages the binary locally.

npm install aws-crt

Update build script to mark aws-crt as an external:

esbuild src/server.ts --outdir=dist --bundle --platform=node --external:aws-crt
