The Sneaky Costs of Scaling Serverless

The Sneaky Costs of Scaling Serverless

The 11ty Screenshots API, using headless Chromium and Puppeteer, encountered high costs on Vercel's Pro Tier, projecting ~$2000 annually due to 1276 GB-Hrs usage. Migrating to AWS, despite a more complex manual setup, reduced the projected usage to 101 GB-Hrs, making it a cost-effective solution. AWS is suitable for this heavily cached, rarely updated service, as it offers better scalability and lower costs compared to Vercel.
