Open Source: AWS Lambda + Puppeteer Starter Repo

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 :)
