Lambda Rendering
Render RVE SDK projects with Remotion Lambda
Remotion Lambda renders videos on AWS. Use it when browser rendering does not meet your performance, browser-support, or scale requirements.
The RVE SDK does not include a ready-made AWS deployment. You must configure Remotion Lambda and connect it to the SDK from your application.
Browser rendering is the default
You do not need Lambda to start with the SDK. Use browser rendering first. Add Lambda when your product needs cloud rendering.
When to Use Lambda
- You need consistent cloud rendering across browsers.
- You need to render many videos at the same time.
- You need large or long-running exports.
- You do not want the user's device to perform the render.
How It Works
- Your application sends the project data to your server.
- Your server starts a Remotion Lambda render.
- Your application checks the render progress.
- AWS stores the completed video and returns its URL.
Set Up Lambda
Follow the SDK Lambda setup guide. It explains the AWS and Remotion configuration for the SDK path.
