This blog will show how to run Puppeteer and Chrome in a Lambda container function. With Lambda, Node packages can be installed in a container instead of having to put them in Lambda layers. When using Puppeteer in Lambda with container image support, you can scale browser automation horizontally. Puppeteer is a Node library which allows you to automate tasks in headless Chrome.

Puppeteer can now be packaged as a container image in a Lambda function to perform browser automation or any web scraping functionality. How would you go about doing that? Try a headless browser automation tool like Puppeteer. You would like to test 100K simultaneous connections to the website and make sure it is working properly.
