Feature request: include parser feature in lambda layer

[scratchclaggy]

Use case

I want to use the new parser feature in my lambdas but need to ship it with my code as it is not available in the lambda layer currently.

Solution/User Experience

We simply need to include the feature when building / publishing the lambda layers.

Alternative solutions

Keep it out of the layer but update documentation:

It may be that this feature is not used frequently, in which case it makes sense to leave it out of the layers to minimize the layer size. In this case though, it should be noted in the docs that the parser feature is not included in the layer like the other features are.

Ship multiple layers:

If layer size is of concern, there may be a case for shipping a layer that includes the SDKs and the logger / metrics / tracer features, and then shipping individual layers for each of the other features that are used less frequently.

Acknowledgment
