Running on Lambda Function

Was wondering if anyone has tried getting the to run on a Rust AWS Lambda function? The Node.js side has playwright-aws-lambda to assist. It's currently failing for me because Playwright::initialize() attempts to download the driver to the read-only file system. Wondering if it'd be possible to use Playwright::with_driver(driver) with a driver packaged with the function.

Thank you

Have you seen Playwright::with_driver?

You can install browsers yourself, and then point Playwright to their location.

Looks like, that's what playwright-aws-lambda does.

Any examples of how this would look in practice? I'm fairly new to Rust and I'm trying to get this working with Docker. I have it working but the browsers are not persistent between container spin-ups. I have mounted a persistent storage to the container, but I need to figure out how to specify the download location.

Would somebody like to team up and develop a Dockerfile and SAM configuration that would "just run" on AWS Lambda? I have been looking into this for weeks, developed half-done solutions for what looks like all Linux distributions, but cannot manage to finalise it:

Key challenges (no particular order) I have faced:

• Limited drivers on AL2 -> need for a different Linux Distribution
• Size of the image should be small: Best would be Alpine, Playwright supports Ubuntu and Debian
• Rust compilation to arm64 vs amd64
• Path to the driver vs executable (It is possible to have a working Chromium on Alpine but the driver "playwright.sh" doesn't connect correctly)
• Temporary folder - EFS configuration
• User / Group Permissions need to align with Lambda
• Very slow Dev.Ops. speed to test since it requires everything to recompile and redeploy just to test a small change

I would love to team up with somebody and share the Dockerfiles and SAM configuration so we can provide a solution to the community.
