Triggering renders from Go

EXPERIMENTAL

This feature is new. Please report any issues you encounter.

To trigger a Lambda render using Go, you can use the Remotion Lambda Go client. Note the following:

  • You first need to complete the Lambda setup.
  • Sending large input props (>200KB) is not supported with Go at the moment.
  • Always match the version of the Go client with the version of the Lambda function you deployed. Otherwise, calls will fail due to version mismatch!
