What is Serverless Chrome?
The aim of this project is to provide the scaffolding for using Headless Chrome during a serverless function invocation. Serverless Chrome takes care of building and bundling the Chrome binaries and making sure Chrome is running when your serverless function executes. In addition, this project also provides a few "example" handlers for common patterns (e.g. taking a screenshot of a page, printing to PDF, some scraping, etc.)
Serverless Chrome is a tool in the Headless Browsers category of a tech stack.
Serverless Chrome is an open source tool with 2.8K GitHub stars and 280 GitHub forks. Here’s a link to Serverless Chrome's open source repository on GitHub
