Scalable Selenium Cluster: Up & Running

on YouTube ↗31m

" summary

Claims a production cluster with >5,000 browsers, 1.5M sessions/day, ~4,000 requests/sec and ~800 Mbps traffic built using Dockerized browsers and a lightweight proxy called Ggr server that uses session ID magic to remain stateless. Browser processes run in isolated containers via Selenoid, cutting memory and dependency bloat compared to selenium-server, exposing the standard Selenium API, supporting auth, autoscaling across data centers, central logging/metrics, and a 10k+ Docker Hub pull count for its images.
