I’ve been using brightdata lambda for a few months now, and it’s been a game-changer for scraping JS-heavy sites.
Compared to Scrapy, it handles dynamic content way better since it’s built on headless browsers.
Pricing is a bit steep if you’re doing small projects, but for large-scale scraping, the time saved on debugging and proxies is worth it.
One gotcha: sometimes it struggles with super aggressive anti-bot measures, so you might need to tweak the settings.
