WeasyPrint AWS Lambda

Native layer

Build layer:

# dependencies - ensure your environment has unzip, zip, and jq

$ make build/weasyprint-layer-python3.12.zip

# to test your build run
$ make test.start.container
# a timestamp followed by "exec '/var/runtime/bootstrap'" should appear
# "docker ps" should show a running container

# in a new shell, run
$ make test.print.report
# a report.pdf file will generate to the current directory

Deploy layer:

$ aws lambda publish-layer-version \
    --region <region> \
    --layer-name <name> \
    --zip-file fileb://build/weasyprint-layer-python3.12.zip

Lambda must be configured with these env vars:

GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE="/opt/lib/loaders.cache"
FONTCONFIG_PATH="/opt/fonts"
XDG_DATA_DIRS="/opt/lib"

If you are using the release zip files ensure your Lambda instruction set architecture is set to x86_64 and not arm64.

# result saved in report.pdf
