next auth api route handler exceeds size limit

How do I reduce the bundle size of a vercel serverless function?

Been messing around with next-auth and nextjs app dir inside nx monorepo and I've hit a wall when it comes to deploying the app with email provider auth. For some reason the dependencies get blown up in size and exceed the limit.

I've tried using vercel.json to exclude the biggest offenders but it didn't work.

// apps/my-app/vercel.json
{
  "functions": {
    "app/api/auth/[...nextauth].js": {
      "excludeFiles": "**/node_modules/{@swc,@esbuild}/**"
    }
  }
}

The code in nextauth is basically following the documentation:

// apps/my-app/app/api/auth/[...nextauth]/route.ts

import NextAuth from 'next-auth';
import { PrismaAdapter } from '@next-auth/prisma-adapter';
import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client';
import EmailProvider from 'next-auth/providers/email';

const emailProvider = EmailProvider({
  from: 'no-reply@exanubes.com',
  type: 'email',
  server: {
    host: process.env.EMAIL_SERVER_HOST,
    port: process.env.EMAIL_SERVER_PORT,
    maxAge: 24 * 60 * 60, // 24 hours
    auth: {
      user: process.env.EMAIL_SERVER_USER,
      pass: process.env.EMAIL_SERVER_PASSWORD,
    },
  },
});

const prisma = new PrismaClient();

const handler = NextAuth({
  secret: process.env.NEXTAUTH_SECRET,
  session: {
    strategy: 'jwt',
  },
  adapter: PrismaAdapter(prisma),
  providers: [emailProvider],
});

export { handler as GET, handler as POST };

I was able to fix this issue by deleting the lock file and moving all my dependencies to devDependencies. Interestingly, in vercel deployment logs, it noticed swc linux deps missing but it compiled just fine without them.
