Sure, but mine provides HTTP API. It can be used with zero configuration and tinkering - see Heroku Deploy button and Dockerfile. And it is battle tested for year and a half across various projects. It keeps running 2 PhantomJs instances by default to avoid startup time penalty, cycles these instances regularly to prevent memory leaks. I use PDFify to generate invoices and legal documents. In my use cases, for quite simple HTML documents with no Javascript and embedded images my server median response time is 61ms. Because of that I convert HTML to PDF on the fly for each request.
