layer has @types (~3MB)

[Muthuveerappanv]

Layers when unzipped (6.0M)

The @types directory occupies 3.6M in the layers data, Since @types aren't used at runtime, they can be readily removed

Without @types (2.4 M)

I did rm -rf node_modules/@types

Using tools like node-prune

I have had much success with using node-prune as well, it takes away unused, files and reduces the size of node_modules by a good number, but has to be thoroughly tested.

Hi @Muthuveerappanv thank you for reporting this, we are going to investigate and try to come up with a solution. Ideally we'd like to shave some data if this doesn't break things. I have opened an issue to track this effort #1171

Just to follow up on this, the fix was merged and the types have been removed.
