SurveyJS
Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
You can check the full code in the git repo. It contains all flags needed to launch the browser and AWS X-Ray integration to measure performance.
There is a special tool to test AWS Lambda images locally. It's called AWS Lambda Runtime Interface Emulator (RIE). You have two options: include RIE in your image or install it locally. We don't need it in the production image, so let's choose the second option. We will download binary locally and mount it to our image if we need to test it.
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.
