#WebScraping
Recap: same Apify SDK · your cloud · MIT · production migration underway (68/130).
If you self-host Actors, star the work and open issues:

@zaddyfi@apify The free monthly credits are genuinely useful for experimentation. Once creators or small teams start running consistent scrapes (especially social + media), the “keep the same code but run it where I want” option becomes pretty attractive.
@codyschneider Highest-intent leads are usually the ones already engaging. Apify makes the collection part almost trivial. The hard part later is usually cost predictability and data ownership once it scales.
@paolo_scales Solid signal-based approach. The people already commenting are warmer than any cold list. Once the volume grows, keeping those scraping runs and datasets on infrastructure you control starts mattering a lot.
@codyschneider This is exactly why a lot of teams eventually want the data and runs on their own infra. Once you’re pulling thousands of rows regularly, the “own the database” part becomes the real unlock. Clean workflow.
@the_osps Love seeing more open-source options in this space. The “record browsing actions → reusable robots” approach is interesting. For teams that already have Crawlee/Apify Actors, the migration cost is often the biggest friction point.
@VivekIntel Looks like the repo was archived earlier this year (public archive now). Still interesting to see the approach — XPath + queue management + self-hosted stack. Curious what people are moving to for similar no-code / low-code self-hosted scraping setups these days.
@Sauain@apify This is a solid program. Technical deep-dives on real migration patterns and production scraping setups are still under-served. Looking forward to seeing what people publish this round.
Self-host shouldn't mean "SSH and pray."
Crawlee Cloud: runs, logs, datasets, webhooks — operator console on your infra.

#selfhosted#webscraping
Built Crawlee Cloud for months. Went public earlier this year.
Then quiet — heads-down making it hold under a real enterprise migration.
Platform stabilized. Posting again with real progress, not hype.
#opensource#selfhosted
What would you need to trust a 100+ scraper self-host migration?
We're learning this live (68 of 130 on Crawlee Cloud).

Your Apify bill shouldn't decide how much you scrape.
Crawlee Cloud is a self-hosted, MIT-licensed Apify alternative — your integration run unchanged.
Now backed by @digitalocean's Open Source Credits Program 🎉

Fleet migration tip: don't rewrite Actors.
Point APIFY_API_BASE_URL at your Crawlee Cloud instance. Same Apify SDK. Same code.
Deploy path: https://t.co/7hu4h6njlD
#crawlee#selfhosted
🚨 Apify having platform-wide timeouts today.
Our 17 scrapers on Crawlee Cloud? Still running. Zero impact.
That's the power of self-hosting:
✅ Your infra, your capacity
✅ No shared-platform bad days
✅ ~5x cheaper compute
Open source. Apify SDK compatible. Zero code changes to migrate.
Stop depending on someone else's uptime 👇

#webscraping #opensource #selfhosted #apify #crawlee #dataengineering #devops #scraping #automation #buildinpublic
68 of 130 scrapers migrated to Crawlee Cloud on a real enterprise fleet.
Platform stabilized. Heavy Playwright jobs first — those were the expensive ones. Migration ongoing.
Same SDK. Your infra.
https://t.co/XQFv80vXae
#webscraping#opensource
Same Apify SDK. Change one env var — point APIFY_API_BASE_URL at your box.
Actors keep working. Data stays on your infra.
Self-hosted, MIT, open source.
⭐ https://t.co/XQFv80vXae
#webscraping#selfhosted
Hosted scraping is fine — until data, credentials, and cost need to stay on infra you control.
Self-host is not "anti-cloud." It's choosing where the work runs.
#selfhosted#webscraping
Crawlee Cloud: self-hosted platform for Crawlee & Apify Actors.
Same SDK. Your infrastructure. MIT open source.
