Hey,

I am working on a large-scale application using serverless and want to separate my current code-base to multiple services for faster deploy times, etc.

What would you recommend to still be able to reference resources from other services?

At this point I have already tried serverless compose which worked great but I would like to have shared code between multiple services and the only way I found so far is the use of webpack.

This is the current folder structure:

```auto
- libs/
  - database/
    - mongodb.ts
    - sql.ts
  - user.ts
- services/
  - service-1/
    - [...]
    - webpack.config.js
    - serverless.yml
  - service-2/
    - [...]
    - webpack.config.js
    - serverless.yml
- serverless-compose.yml

```

The problem with the current structure is the developer experience; packages have to be installed on multiple places; having to use aliases to access shared code, etc.

Is there a better way to share code between services, while still be able to run on locally.

Thank you for your help in advance.

This is also my pain at the moment. Would love to share it among services to avoid code replication.
