#18282 Avoid Zipping AWS Lambda Issue created by jhamet93 I'm curious if there's a flag such that when building an artifact (e.g pants package) compression can be avoided . As a specific example, I use AWS SAM (Serverless Application Model) to build my services for deployments. I'm able to use a custom Makefile to allow pants to be responsible for building the lambda function. However, the issue I'm facing is this framework expects an unzipped directory (containing the Lambda deployment) to be placed in an output location before being zipped for deployment by AWS SAM. Therefore, at the moment I build the Lambda using pants and then unzip to meet this invariant which is a burden to performance of the build / deployment using this framework. I have already opened an issue in that repository to avoid zipping but I was curious if there's an option I'm missing that already exists in pants that will avoid archiving the lambda function during a build. pantsbuild/pants
