chrome-aws-lambda VS estela

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.

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/alixaxel/chrome-aws-lambda.git && \ cd chrome-aws-lambda && \ make chrome_aws_lambda.zip

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!

This plugin is used for all our AWS Lambda deployments, using a wide range of Node modules, some with more quirks than others. We use it together with Lambda Layer Sharp and Chrome AWS Lambda.

I was able to successfully to run chrome with puppeteer in AWS Lambda for a similar use case. I used an "optimized" version of chrome packaged as an AWS Lambda Layer.

Simplest method use ]Puppeteer](https://blog.risingstack.com/pdf-from-html-node-js-puppeteer/) with chrome-aws-lambda.

This solution is using requests, you can also do this in scrapy, and if you are planning to run more crawlers you can use estela which is a spider management solution.

You may want to check out [estela](https://estela.bitmaker.la/docs/), which is a spider management solution, developed by [Bitmaker](https://bitmaker.la) that allows you to run [Scrapy](https://scrapy.org) spiders.

We are currently running a closed beta of Bitmaker Cloud (free and unlimited). Bitmaker Cloud gives you easy management of scraping workloads via a web dashboard and API. Only Scrapy spiders are supported at the moment (additional languages/frameworks are on the roadmap). Bitmaker Cloud is powered by estela, an elastic web scraping cluster running on Kubernetes. estela is a modern alternative to proprietary platforms such as Scrapy Cloud, as well as OSS projects such as scrapyd. The source code of estela and estela-cli is available on Github.

We released estela for this and other purposes, check it out, maybe it will suit your needs:

Only Scrapy support atm, but additional scraping frameworks/language are on the roadmap. Would be good to know which ones to prioritize over others :-)
