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!

How we keep our Serverless deploy times short and avoid headaches
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.

HTML to PDF renderers: A simple comparison
HTML to PDF conversion is a common requirement in modern web applications. It allows users to save web pages, reports, and other content in a format that is easy to share and print. There are many libraries and services available for converting HTML to PDF, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. In this article, we will compare some of the most popular HTML to PDF renderers in Node.js, including Puppeteer, Playwright, node-html-pdf, and Onedoc.

Monitoring your Website End to End with Playwright
Playwright is a Node.js library for automating browsers. It allows you to write scripts to interact with web pages, just like a real user would. You can use it to fill out forms, click buttons, and navigate between pages. It is most commonly used for end-to-end testing of the code-base, but it's also a great tool for monitoring continuously.

Playwright Test Generator
I tend to agree. An example of how it can be net-zero gain is in this screenshot[1]. To have something maintainable, you have to do your own refactoring pass on the generated code. At that point, it's not much effort to write the test yourself than it is to refactor all of the redundancies.

LaVague: Open-source Large Action Model to automate Selenium browsing

Web Scraping in Python – The Complete Guide
Hah yeah that's confusing.
https://playwright.dev/python/docs/intro is actually the documentation for pytest-playwright - their pytest plugin.

The Lord of Playwright: The Two Traces
Playwright is the fastest growing web testing framework. Playwright enables end-to-end (E2E) tests to be created by synthetically driving a headless browser session and enabling assertions to verify the system performs as expected. With Playwright traces, you can review a test after the script has run and identify exactly what occurred.
