Hey, did you try using the experimental-serverless-trace target as per #3575 (comment)

Hi @AbhiPrasad

Yes, we did try with experimental-serverless-trace the build is going through, but there is another challenge that we are facing with Netlify. When we change the target to experimental-serverless-trace from serverless, the deployment gets stuck (build timeout after 20 mins) in the Netlify environment (https://github.com/netlify/netlify-plugin-nextjs). Apparently, this issue is happening only in our original project. I'm working on giving them minimal reproducible code to debug.

So the challenge for us:

1. When we use serverless + sentry, NextJS build fails.
2. When we use experimental-serverless-trace Netlify build fails with some other reason which is yet to be figured out. This is happening even without Sentry plugin.

But we think both the issues have to be fixed, hence we raised this issue here.

After discussing with the team we decided that we are not going to support the serverless target with @sentry/nextjs as the serverless target is not recommended by the NextJS team.

The @sentry/nextjs build not working for the serverless target is now intended behaviour.
