Lambdas vs EC2
Lambda would be my choice for this. You could even stay within the free tier depending how often you run this process. You can orchestrate puppeteer UI flows in lambda using this package https://github.com/alixaxel/chrome-aws-lambda My team does this and it works great.

Dynamic Open Graph images with Next.js
When requesting the API route, the Next.js serverless function will actually spin up a web browser on the server (a headless instance of Chromium, using chrome-aws-lambda). Next, a webpage will be generated with HTML we can define ourselves. This HTML will be used to construct the image. That means that as a developer we can generate images using HTML and CSS, technologies we are already familiar with!

Building a Serverless Reader View with Lambda and Chrome
The most crucial question was, of course, how to run Chrome on Lambda. Fortunately, much of the groundwork for running Chrome on Lambda had been laid by others. I used the @sparticuz/chromium package to run Chromium in headless mode. However, Chromium is a rather big dependency, so to speed up deployments, I created a Lambda Layer.
