Whenever I’ve had to build PDF features I’ve found it tedious, and thought it should be easier.
Paperplane is basically an API layer on top of autoscaling servers running headless Chrome.
There are a couple of features that make this a little different to other solutions out there: automatic uploads to S3 and the ability to queue up batches of documents and be notified via webhook when they’ve been converted to PDF.
If you’re looking for a solution like this or are already using something similar, it’d be great to hear any feedback!
