I recently open-sourced a little repo I’ve been using that makes it easier to run Puppeteer on AWS Lambda. Thought it might help others building serverless scrapers or screenshot tools.
📦 GitHub: https://github.com/geiger01/puppeteer-lambda
It’s a minimal setup with:
Puppeteer bundled and ready to run inside Lambda
chrome-aws-lambda support
Simple example handler for extracting HTML
I use a similar setup in CaptureKit (my scraping/screenshot API), and it’s worked well so far for handling headless Chromium tasks without managing servers.
Let me know if you find it useful, or if you spot anything that could be improved. PRs welcome too :)

exactly right on the memory issue. we had the same — chromium just doesn't release properly without explicit cleanup
now using snapapi.pics for all our screenshot needs. api-based, no browser on our servers
