Browser Automation

Headless and headful orchestration that survives DOM shifts, CAPTCHAs and rate ceilings. Playwright, Puppeteer and our own resilience layer.

Browser automation is not a script. It is a system that has to survive your target's front-end update, ten thousand sessions a day, a swapped selector and a proxy outage — without waking anyone up. That is how we have been building browser automation for four years: in production, on Playwright or Puppeteer, with a resilience layer that does not get improvised.

Architecture that does not crack under load

Every automation we ship has three layers: the controller (business logic), the runtime (auto-scaling browser pool) and observability (structured logs, metrics, alerts). We run this on Kubernetes, Fly.io or the client's own infrastructure — depending on scale and compliance needs.

Sessions are isolated per fingerprint. Each browser has its own context, its own cookies, its own proxy. The pool manages instance recycling, retry with backoff, and automatic failover to a backup proxy pool when the primary gets blocked.

CAPTCHA, anti-bot and adversarial traffic

Cloudflare, Akamai, DataDome, PerimeterX, hCaptcha, reCAPTCHA — we have shipped against all of them. The strategy depends on the target: sometimes correct fingerprint heuristics and timing are enough, sometimes solver integration is required, sometimes you move to the API hidden behind the UI. We decide on the economics: cost per session, daily throughput required, time budget.

We do not sell magic. We sell resilient architecture and explicit performance contracts — written into the SLA when the client needs it.

Observability built in, not bolted on

Every session produces structured logs, response-time metrics, screenshots of key steps and error traces. Grafana or Datadog (your choice) shows what is happening in real time. Alerts land where they should — Slack, PagerDuty, email — with concrete information, not generic "something failed".

What you get

  • Resilience layer: retry, fail-over, fingerprint management
  • Session and proxy management pool
  • Structured logs, metrics, alerts
  • Documentation and operational runbooks
  • Optional: operator dashboard in Next.js

Frequently asked

Is browser automation legal?

In most cases, yes. Scraping publicly available data is legal in the EU when it respects ToS, copyright and GDPR. We advise clients during scoping — if something raises legal concerns, we say so and suggest an alternative.

How long does implementation take?

Pilot with one automation: 2–3 weeks. Full production system with observability and SLA: 6–10 weeks. We validate architecture in a spike phase (1–2 weeks) to avoid surprises later.

What if the target updates their front-end?

We build in DOM-diff detection and automatic fallback selectors. Most changes the system patches itself. Those that need intervention generate an alert — and if the client has a maintenance package, we patch them within SLA hours.

What are proxy and infrastructure costs?

Depends on scale. Small automations (< 10k sessions/day): $100–500/mo. Large pipelines (1M+ sessions/day): $2–5k/mo and up. We help optimize the budget — typically 40% reduction is possible through smart routing and caching.

Do you work with European platforms and marketplaces?

Yes. Our portfolio includes Allegro, OLX, Otomoto, Amazon EU, Zalando, Pracuj.pl, eBay and most major European platforms. Each has its own specifics.
