“Overkill for our modest scraping”
Used weekly for 6–12 months
We pull a few thousand pages a day from sites with no real protection. Datacentre proxies from a budget provider do it for a fraction of the cost. Bright Data is built for a problem we do not have.
Pros
Clearly excellent at scale.
Cons
Complex and expensive for simple, undefended collection.
