Chapter 450: Data transfer cost

Core Idea

When rendering on Remotion Lambda, a headless browser is opened, which opens your bundle via the Serve URL. Your site and assets are being loaded via HTTP, meaning that you will be charged by AWS for the data transfer.

Key Concepts

• Isn't data transfer free if the assets are in the same region?
• Option 1: Use an alternate CDN for storing assets
• Enable Cloudflare Cache for R2 assets
• Option 2: Use @remotion/media tags
• Option 3: Enable VPC endpoints
• Caveats
