Can a Mac beat Remotion Lambda?
We do not claim a single Mac beats Remotion Lambda’s many-function fan-out on wall-clock. Lambda’s advantage is parallelism. We did measure Mac vs small Cloudflare Containers shapes; a same-composition Lambda bakeoff is still backlog.
What we did measure:
| Job | Output | M2 Max | M1 Silver1 | M1 Silver2 | CF live |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LongKinetic3m | 3:00 (5400 f) | 111.5 s | 133.7 s | 145.6 s | 2175.3 s |
| LongKinetic20m | 20:00 (36000 f) | 679.5 s | - | - | 14502 s PROJECTED |
LongKinetic20m CF column is PROJECTED (×20/3 from measured 3-minute CF live). Method: benchmark methodology.
