> Sounds like you're imposing a complex build process on yourself while getting locked into a web of AWS features to be honest.

I should elaborate a little. My whole site is contained within a Docker container that has NPM, Yarn, headless-chrome, Hugo, etc. I can generate everything with a single command. The AWS bits are just there for hosting and responding to a GitHub commit. So the build process is portable-ish, but from what I saw Netlify doesn’t just let you do headless-chrome on a free plan[1].

Not really, the point is to automate everything away behind a single Git push.

Why do you need a PDF resume that's built automatically though? Does it need to be in PDF? Does it change that often? Aren't resumes something you customise per job application?
