Could you build this?
Partial Wrapping headless Chrome for HTML-to-PDF is simple, but running a hardened, sandboxed, high-throughput PDF rendering API with secure multitenancy and EU compliance requires serious infrastructure engineering.
What it would actually take: The system requires a distributed queue (Redis/SQS) feeding a pool of headless Chromium instances running inside isolated microVMs or sandboxes (e.g., Firecracker or gVisor) to prevent SSRF and RCE attacks via untrusted HTML/CSS/JS. Metered billing and precise font/rendering consistency across nodes require deep infrastructure and DevOps expertise.
