This doesn't directly answer your question, but the serverless project might be exactly what someone in this situation needs.

It allows you to build projects in a normal webpack-style multi-file architecture, then uses a CLI utility to build your project(s) into Lambda-optimized files.

The CLI also handles function initialization, deployment, and a litany of other functions I've not yet even needed. It will even create/configure your triggers (e.g., s3 object creation or setting up a new REST API thru AWS API service).

I only have a few Lambda functions, but even maintaining those was a pain until I started using serverless.

(this is a fawning post, but to be clear I'm not affiliated w/ the project)
