I've been using AWS Elastic Beanstalk for about 2 years now. In the past, eb deploy has taken more time as the project grew, but never more than 5-10 minutes.
With my latest project, I am using NextJS 13.0.3. When I use eb deploy --verbose, the archive creation with system zip takes 30+ minutes.
My question is: is there a reason why the ZIP is so slow? I understand the archive upload to S3 is time-heavy, but when I zip the files with the zip command or through the Mac Finder, it only takes 1 minute at most.
I am not including node_modules or any large images in the eb deploy.
Here are the first few lines of eb deploy ---verbose if it helps. Thanks in advance.

Update: This has now been fixed in the latest version (3.20.6) eb --version
