Playwright on AWS Lambda
This is an example project for running Playwright on AWS Lambda using the newly released features of running custom container images as Lambda functions.
I also wrote a post about Playwright on AWS Lambda to my Hashbode blog.
NOTE! Currently only Chromium and WebKit browser are working. Firefox requires some more tuning...
How to use this
Requirements
- Docker
- AWS Command line interface installed and configured (if deploying to AWS)
Locally with Docker
Build docker container image
docker build -t playwright-aws-lambda-example:latest .
Run container
docker run -p 9000:8080 playwright-aws-lambda-example:latest
Invoke function
curl -XPOST "http://localhost:9000/2015-03-31/functions/function/invocations" -d '{}'
Deploying to AWS Lambda
In the following examples, replace YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID with your AWS Account Id.
Create repository on AWS ECR (Elastic Container Registry)
aws ecr create-repository --repository-name playwright-aws-lambda-example --image-scanning-configuration scanOnPush=true
Tag docker image for ECR repository
docker tag playwright-aws-lambda-example:latest YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID.dkr.ecr.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/playwright-aws-lambda-example:latest
Login
aws ecr get-login-password | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID.dkr.ecr.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com
Push image to ECR
docker push YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID.dkr.ecr.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/playwright-aws-lambda-example
Create and deploy an AWS Lambda function with your newly created container image!
