I have been going down the fascinating rabbit hole of using selenium with AWS lambda’s. I was first introduced to the concept by Jaira Encio https://dev.to/awscommunity-asean/creating-an-api-that-runs-selenium-via-aws-lambda-3ck3

Can download a similar layer from here https://github.com/alvaroseparovich/AWS-LAMBDA-LAYER-Selenium

That version was enough to get me hooked! It’s a bit legacy though, it runs

python 3.6
chromedriver 2.37
headless chromium v1.0.0-41

I started running into things that didn’t work on that version.

After much searching (and a couple of times making my own layers)

Getting the right versions to match is a challenge!

I ran across this version!

https://github.com/diegoparrilla/headless-chrome-aws-lambda-layer

SELENIUM_VER=3.141.0
CHROME_BINARY_VER=v1.0.0-57
CHROMEDRIVER_VER=86.0.4240.22
SWIFTSHADER_VER=v7.0-beta.0

Next time, I will probably end up using a container
