Deployments fail when using Preact

[Lorentz]

The problem

When deploying an Astro site to Vercel whilst using Preact and Preact/compat, the deployment fails with a note:

Error: Cannot find module 'react'
Require stack:
- /vercel/path0/node_modules/pure-react-carousel/dist/index.cjs.js
    at Module._resolveFilename (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1075:15)
    at Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:920:27)
    at Module.require (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1141:19)
    at require (node:internal/modules/cjs/helpers:110:18)

The line of code that is presumably causing the deployment problems is this one?

  var React=_interopDefault(require("react"))

I'm using Preact and I believe I have the settings set correctly in the Astro config file.

// ... 
import preact from '@astrojs/preact';

export default defineConfig({
  integrations: [
      // ....
      preact({ compat: true }),
  ],
  vite: {
    resolve: {
      alias: {
        '~': path.resolve(__dirname, './src'),
      },
    },
  },
});

Describe the feature you'd like:

It would be really amazing if you could provide support for React alternatives like Preact. This allows Developers to keep there dependencies as low as possible.

Suggested implementation:

Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to provide any advice as to how to implement this!
