First, we need to figure out what the actual error is.  This is obviously frustrating given that the error message is intentionally truncating it.

1) SSH in to your node (various guides available for this if you're not already familiar with this).
2) Run this command (basically an Elastic Beanstalk wrapper command for npm install I found in a blog post [1]):
   $ sudo /opt/elasticbeanstalk/containerfiles/ebnode.py --action npm-install 2
3) Find the actual error message in the output from the npm install.

Once you know the error, it should hopefully be fairly obvious how to fix it.  I've run into two different errors over the last couple days on Elastic Beanstalk:

The first was a dependency that was using the new "^X.Y.Z" version syntax, which is only supported in Node >= v0.10.26 (whereas Elastic Beanstalk only supports up to v0.10.21 as of today).  The solution here was easy: hardcode a dependency version *prior* to when that dependency adopted to the new syntax.

Pitfalls

The REST adapter for strong-remoting sets up its own error handler! So you cannot accomplish this for REST API related calls by replacing:

1. app.use(loopback.errorHandler()); in server/server.js
2. or, loopback#errorHandler in middleware.json

So don't waste your time there.
