title: aws Lambda bcrypt
body: <p>Is it possible to require a node.js module in aws lambda that can not be required by default?</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to implement a password hashing function using the bcrypt algorithm but</p>
  
  <pre><code>var bcrypt = require('bcryptjs');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>won't work. I've searched the internet now for quite some time but couldn't find a fitting solution.

   doesn't help either since I don't have an EC2 instance with Node.js installed. I think there must be an easier way to do this.</p>
