chrome-aws-lambda VS terraform-aws-next-js

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.

For example, we can use chrome-aws-lambda binaries. They were built to fit Lambda layers, so the size is much smaller than regular chrome installation.

I found terraform modules, but these seem dated https://github.com/milliHQ/terraform-aws-next-js

On a non-Amplify note, are you by any chance familiar with how terraform-aws-next-js sets up the lambda function?

It currently has a few limitations on ISG and using Middleware, but otherwise supports a wide range of features: https://github.com/milliHQ/terraform-aws-next-js

AWS https://github.com/dealmore/terraform-aws-next-jsWhich is as close to Vercel as your going to get on AWS; We have not been using this particular library ourselves yet, we built our own setup. But this setup is alot better than our one.
