This is a example of how to get Playwright working with AWS Lambda by using sparticuz/chromium.

See sparticuz/chromium for up-to-date information.

cd path/to/project
npm init -y
npm install playwright typescript
npm install -D @types/aws-lambda @types/node

npx tsc --init

• in tsconfig.json, add "outDir": "./dist".

Follow this description to create a Chrominium binary to be used from the AWS Lambda environment.

• First, you need to have an S3 bucket with a name like "chromiumUploadBucket".
• upload chromium binary to the S3
• open AWS Console and your lambda function, and set custom layer like below:
• Edit basic settings
  • Memory
    • 512 MB or more is recommended.
  • Timeout
    • Set appropriate values. In most cases, the default of 3 seconds will be too short.

• refer to this section.

• the unix commands required for Deploy are listed below.
• recommend you to put them into package.json or yaml for CI.

rm -rf dist/
npx tsc
cd dist
zip -r ../deploy-package.zip ./* ../node_modules
cd ..
aws lambda update-function-code --function-name test-function --zip-file fileb://deploy-package.zip
