How to run automated (Selenium) Headless Chromium in AWS Lambda.

Read full article [https://www.vittorionardone.it/en/2020/06/04/chromium-and-selenium-in-aws-lambda](https://www.vittorionardone.it/en/2020/06/04/chromium-and-selenium-in-aws-lambda)

An example about taking a full height screenshot of a given webpage in Python.

## BINARIES UPDATE

I’ve updated project to successfully use:

- Chromium 86.0.4240.0

- Chromedriver 86.0.4240.22.0

- Selenium 3.14

## LAYERS - NEW!

A Lambda Layer is used to include all required binaries and libs.

## Contents

Selenium wrapper to get a full height screenshot of a given webpage. Code is in `src/webdriver_screenshot.py`.

Lambda source code is in `src/lambda_function.py`. It's a sample function using wrapper to get screenshot of a given URL. Fixed size and full height size screenshots are saved to a S3 bucket.

CloudFormation template to create Lambda stack. Please change `WebSite` parameter to your favorite URL.

## Commands

Run these commands in sequence:

`make lambda-layer-build` to prepare archive for AWS Lambda Layer deploy (layer.zip)

`make lambda-function-build` to prepare archive for AWS Lambda deploy (deploy.zip)

`make BUCKET= create-stack` to create CloudFormation stack (lambda function, layer and IAM role)

## Offline execution (using Docker)

`make docker-build` to prepare Docker image for AWS Lambda offline execution  

`make lambda-run` to execute AWS Lambda in Docker
