remove fs dependency

[pguardiario]

Is there any way to remove the fs dependency for serverless?
If not can someone recommend another package / workaround?

I'm trying to use nodejs new new single executable application feature and get stuck on this package.

Don't know if it's possble to have a pure js version of this package, so we can use a bundle (for example, esbuild) and pack it in to single executable file without too much complexity.

for example, convert all dat file to base64 and storage them in js as default data source.

A thought would be, convert content of geoip-country.dat and geoip-country6.dat to base64 and use then as default, instead of try to find them on fs.

The maxmind license prohibits distribution of the data files. It is mandatory for the end user to install it using their own license key.

thanks. I just find that official sdk https://github.com/maxmind/GeoIP2-node support passing a buffer directly without requirement of fs.
