Cannot use with esbuild based application (AWS CDK)

[Kilowhisky]

Description

I'm trying to instrument custom events for nodejs based AWS ECS Tasks and Lambdas. I currently have successful lambda layer implementation but i am not able to send custom events using this method.

In order to do so i need to install newrelic into the main package.json. My AWS functions and tasks are created and managed using AWS CDK which uses esbuild in order to bundle and prepare my applications. The problem is when i attempt to import the function to record a custom event i get tons of build errors i can't seem to resolve.

I've tried all the following

import { recordCustomEvent } from "newrelic";
import newrelic from 'newrelic';
import * as NR from 'newrelic';
const NR = require('newrelic');

and they all result in these errors.

X [ERROR] Could not resolve "split"

    node_modules/newrelic/bin/tracetractor:23:21:
      23 │   , split  = require('split')

If i use this to import

import * as NR from 'newrelic/esm-loader.mjs';

I get build warnings but it still builds. Unfortunately it won't run as it throws the following errors.
