Deploys browser automation scripts as serverless cloud functions on Browserbase. You write Playwright-based automation locally, test it with a dev server, then publish it to run on a schedule, via webhook, or through API calls.
Skips the work of setting up servers, containers, and browser binaries yourself by packaging Playwright scripts into deploy-ready cloud functions with one CLI command.
When to use it
- Deploying a scraper to run on a daily cron without keeping a server running
- Creating a webhook endpoint that takes a screenshot of any URL on demand
- Moving local Playwright scripts to the cloud for scheduled execution
- Building an API that fills out web forms with dynamic input parameters
- Running headless browser tasks from CI/CD pipelines without managing infrastructure
