## What it is
Serverless Chrome is a scaffolding framework and Serverless Framework plugin for running headless Chrome/Chromium on AWS Lambda. It bundles the Chrome binaries and ensures Chrome is running during serverless function invocations, with examples for screenshots, PDF printing, and scraping.

## Use cases
- take screenshots of web pages in aws lambda
- print web pages to pdf serverlessly
- scrape websites with headless chrome on lambda
- run puppeteer in a serverless function
- pre-render single page apps for seo
- run chrome devtools protocol automation in serverless

## When to choose
- you need headless Chrome inside AWS Lambda functions
- you use the Serverless Framework and want Chrome bundled automatically
- you want examples for screenshot, PDF, or scraping serverless services

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained solution - the project is in maintenance mode and alternatives like chrome-aws-lambda exist
- you run on non-serverless infrastructure where a normal Chrome install is simpler
- you need Chrome on Azure or GCP functions, which are only 'possibly' supported

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
