What would be really useful for my use case (running browser tests on a schedule) is if Cloudflare workers actually supported running full headless chromium automation in addition to just V8 isolates. Right now I'm using puppeteer/playwright + Lambda, but would love to have more options.

Headless browser tests seem to be quite far away from the problems cloudflare workers are trying to solve. https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platform/limits https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platform/limits Workers aren't the same as lambdas, they are a super slim JS environments. At 50ms max runtime most browsers won't even start, let alone fetch and process a page.

CloudWatch Synthetics may fit your usecase? https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/CloudWatch_Synthetics_Canaries.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitori... Then there are more specialized browser-testing providers like LambdaTest.com and BrowserStack.com
