From our production stats, a median screenshots capture is 5.7s. Browser-use bills per minute, not per millisecond like lambda does. As is, it's around 2x more expensive than Lambda for our use-case.
We run a screenshot API (ApiFlash) with Chromium packaged in an AWS Lambda container image instead of Firecracker on EC2. AWS Lambda gives you the isolation and autoscaling for free which is ideal for spiky stateless…
I built a screenshot API called ApiFlash. https://apiflash.com Quite a few of my clients use it to add "always up to date" screenshots to their documentation.
I think you need to try it if you want to understand how it can be useful. I also tend to write as little code as possible. Since I started using Copilot, I don't write more code nor less code. I write the exact same…
You picked mainly data science python projects. It would make more sense to compare with other python web frameworks. django, 1101 open, 32662 closed cherrypy, 218 open, 1505 closed starlette, 31 open, 570 closed…
One major advantage Flask has over FastAPI is maturity. FastAPI has 1000+ open issues on Github vs 14 for Flask. That is quite scary.
Even though Redis might be 16 times faster than PostgreSQL at reading JSON blobs, it doesn't mean that it is using 16 times less CPU doing so. A while ago I benchmarked Redis vs PostgreSQL and I was initially fooled by…
