@dominiksumer @aarondfrancis Good question. Since forever I hosted my apps on DO. screeenly exists since 2014. Steady growth, but running Chrome is soo resource intensive. The free version suffers from regular overload. When I relaunched it I needed a future proof way to scale the Chrome process.

@dominiksumer @aarondfrancis I'm a PHP guy and Aaron built this thing called Sidecar to run *any* bit of code on AWS Lambda. Tried it, was satisfied and now just the Chrome process runs on Lambda. I could get 100 requests on DO, without bringing the server down, as the heavy process runs on AWS and not DO.

@dominiksumer @aarondfrancis I could provision bigger server, move to AWS EC2 instances, but that power would sit idle when not used and would cost me a lot of money.
