Rendering 3D scenes with Blender on AWS Lambda, how we got there
summary
Built a serverless backend that runs Blender inside AWS Lambda container images to render photo‑real previews for a large corporation, using the Blender Python API to load scenes and apply designer settings programmatically. Functions scale to handle bursty demand, spin up and start rendering within one second, and avoid a permanent render‑farm cost by staying idle most of the time. The approach replaces an expensive VM cluster and proves practical in production for design workflows.
