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=<your_bucket_name> 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
