This is not a direct solution, but you can just use native chromium instead of serverless-chrome. Does this alternative way achieve your needs? I have a demo repository here. https://github.com/umihico/docker-selenium-lambda/

@umihico , I used native chromium that you've mentioned and the file size exceeds. Asking me to use an s3 bucket. I don't have rights to use an s3 bucket, only lambda rights. Please guide. Thanks.

[umihico]

You can import code from S3 or lambda layer, or docker image. My solution above is docker. You can try docker image or lambda layer if S3 is not option. @Usmanfawad

@umihico I did use lambda layers but the size exceeds 10 MB. HOW do i upload a docker image? Your help will be appreciated.

[umihico]

It says lambda layer size is 250MB. how about this one? https://github.com/shelfio/chrome-aws-lambda-layer

@umihico Thanks! Works just fine
