How to deploy binaries (iconv)?

[riabiy]

One of the dependencies of the package I need to use in Sidecar is iconv.
This is a binary, from what I can tell. So, if I build it locally (npm ci), I can't deploy it to lambda. Well, I can, but it won't work.

What is the recommended strategy to deal with that?

Actual error

node_modules/iconv/build/Release/iconv.node: invalid ELF header.

I think you have to build that particular binary for Lambda by using a Lambda-like environment.

Here's an article on how to do it for Pandoc, but it should be similar: https://claudiajs.com/tutorials/pandoc-lambda.html.
