"Is Puppeteer with Render a Good Solution for Scraping Dynamic Websites?"
Hey folks! 👋 Been messing around with puppeteer with render lately for scraping some JS-heavy sites, and honestly? It’s pretty solid.
Render’s got that sweet spot between ease-of-use and scalability, and pairing it with puppeteer feels like cheating sometimes. Dynamic content? No prob. But... it’s not *perfect*.
You gotta watch out for:
- Costs if you’re scraping heavy (Render ain’t free forever lol).
- Timeouts—some sites are *slow*, and puppeteer with render can get stuck if you don’t tweak settings.
Still, for most small-to-medium projects, it’s a killer combo. Anyone else tried it? Tips or horror stories?
(Also, debugging is a pain—more on that later 😅)
