A TypeScript library that packages a serverless-optimized Chromium binary (Brotli-compressed) with decompression code and predefined launch arguments for use with Puppeteer or Playwright. It is a maintained fork of chrome-aws-lambda designed to run headless Chromium in constrained serverless environments like AWS Lambda.
Use cases
- run headless chromium in aws lambda
- use puppeteer on serverless platforms
- scrape web pages in a lambda function
- generate pdfs from html in serverless functions
- deploy playwright with a chromium binary
- reduce chromium deployment size with brotli compression
When to choose
- you need headless Chromium in AWS Lambda or another serverless runtime with size and filesystem constraints
- you want a Chromium build decoupled from specific Puppeteer versions
- your deployment vendor limits package sizes and you can host the binary separately with chromium-min
When to avoid
- you run Chromium on a normal server or container where the official Chrome/Chromium binaries work fine
- you need the puppeteer overrides and hooks from the original chrome-aws-lambda package
- you need a browser other than Chromium, such as Firefox
