Research direction
The issue requests the ability to import middleware as an ES6 module. Investigate the package's current module export structure. Likely needs to add an 'exports' field in package.json or provide an .mjs entry point. Check if there are any existing PRs or discussions about ESM support. The error indicates the module path '@vendia/serverless express/middleware' is not resolved. Consider adding a separate ESM build or adjusting the package's type configuration.
