At Ahrefs we are running between 130 and 170 millions sessions a day. The project started before the release of puppeteer. I can tell you the release of puppeteer saved me a lot of time. It's way more easier to keep a correct browser state using it than what was previously available. It also interacts well with lighthouse. I wouldn't call chrome headless stable or bug free (it doesn't even handle https correctly). But it's a good thing to have it available.
- graystevens 8y agoWhat issues do you have with HTTPS/TLS? I can’t say I’ve come across any issues so far - is it a specific usecase to Ahrefs?
- testcross 8y agohttps://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/issues/1159 https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/issues/1159 I don't think we have a fancy usage of puppeteer. But still we get between 2% and 5% of errors depending on the version used. It's a small ratio, but at this scale it's a lot of pages.
- k5jhn 8y agoWhat kind of hardware is Ahrefs running these headless browser sessions on?
- mrskitch 8y agoAwesome stats, I've actually run across Ahrefs a few times during my development and purview of other products. Really: well done on that, I hold Ahrefs in high esteem
