Cloud-Native Infrastructure

Cloud Scraping Infinitely Scalable

Auto-scaling scraping infrastructure that runs entirely in the cloud โ€” no servers to provision, no proxy pools to manage. Data lands directly in your S3 bucket, BigQuery dataset, Snowflake table, or PostgreSQL instance on your schedule.

What & Why

What Is Cloud-Based Web Scraping?

Cloud-based web scraping is the execution of data extraction workloads entirely on managed cloud infrastructure โ€” serverless functions, containerised crawlers, and distributed compute clusters โ€” rather than on-premise hardware or self-managed VMs. The defining characteristic is elasticity: the infrastructure scales up automatically when jobs are large, and scales back to zero when idle, so you only pay for compute you actually use.

Traditional scraping setups require maintaining a fleet of servers, managing proxy pools, handling IP rotation, and babysitting cron jobs. Cloud-native scraping abstracts all of that. DataFlirt deploys your scraping jobs on Lambda functions, Fargate containers, or GKE pods depending on workload type โ€” with automatic retry, dead-letter queues, and delivery to your preferred cloud storage or database.

For data engineering teams, ML pipelines, and startups building data products, the value is getting web data directly into your existing cloud infrastructure without any ops overhead. No new servers. No new tooling to learn. Your data lands in S3, BigQuery, or Snowflake exactly as if it came from any other data source in your stack.

Why Cloud-Native Scraping Wins
โšก
Elastic Scale
Handle a 10-page crawl or a 10-million-page crawl with the same configuration โ€” infrastructure scales automatically.
๐Ÿ’ณ
Pay-as-you-go
No idle server costs. You pay per successful extraction, not per hour of infrastructure running.
โ˜๏ธ
Native Cloud Integration
Data lands directly in S3, GCS, Azure Blob, BigQuery, or Snowflake โ€” no intermediate file transfers.
๐Ÿ”ง
Zero Ops Overhead
No proxy pools, no IP rotation management, no server patching โ€” we handle all infrastructure maintenance.
๐Ÿ”’
VPC Isolation
Run scraping infrastructure inside your own VPC for complete data isolation and security compliance.

Cloud-First Teams Deserve Cloud-First Scraping

Modern data stacks live in the cloud. Your scraping infrastructure should too. DataFlirt integrates natively with AWS, GCP, and Azure โ€” delivering web data directly into the storage and compute layers your team already uses, with the same reliability, observability, and cost controls you expect from first-party cloud services. No ops overhead. No new tooling. Just data where you need it.

FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Can data be delivered directly to my cloud storage bucket?
Yes. We support direct delivery to S3, GCS, Azure Blob Storage, and SFTP. Output format is configurable โ€” Parquet, JSON Lines, CSV, or Avro โ€” and files are partitioned by date or custom keys automatically.
Do you support Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift?
Yes. Native connectors for Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, and Databricks Delta Lake are available on Professional and Enterprise plans. Data loads are incremental by default.
What is the BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) option?
Enterprise clients can have DataFlirt deploy scraping infrastructure inside their own AWS, GCP, or Azure VPC. This means data never leaves your cloud account โ€” it's collected and stored entirely within your environment.
How does auto-scaling work?
Job queues are monitored in real time. When job volume spikes, additional Lambda functions or container instances are provisioned within seconds. When the queue empties, they scale back to zero. You're never over-provisioned.
How is cost calculated?
You're charged per successful record extracted. There are no charges for infrastructure idle time, failed retries, or overhead compute. Cost per record decreases at higher volumes.
Can I monitor job health and set cost alerts?
Yes. Our dashboard shows live job status, record counts, error rates, and cumulative spend per pipeline. You can set budget alerts that pause jobs or notify you when spend exceeds a threshold.
