Cannot download zip file into /tmp

Current versus Expected behavior

I am considering deploying an app that scrapes a certain page. I am trying to download Chromium to the /tmp folder using puppeteer-core. However, when I attempt to download the zip file, the process stops without any errors. I would like to ask about this issue.

Code, configuration, and steps that reproduce this issue

https://github.com/chihiro-yabuta/opas/blob/main/pages/api/scrape.ts#L19 The process after the pipe in this promise is stopping. https://github.com/chihiro-yabuta/opas/blob/main/pages/api/index.ts#L36 As additional information, this function is being executed asynchronously because it takes a long time.

Hi, ! Welcome to the Vercel Community. 😄

Vercel uses a serverless architecture, which has certain limitations . The /tmp directory in serverless environments is typically limited in size and not persistent between function invocations.

Installing Chromium or Puppeteer in a serverless environment is generally not recommended or supported. The installation process requires more resources and time than typically available in a serverless function execution.

It's also worth pointing out from our our Terms of Service:

You may not use the Services or Vercel's infrastructure for proxying, scraping, to create virtual private networks, or to create virtual private servers.

thank you. I'll consider another way.
