Monitoro Built a Web Crawler Handling Millions of API Requests
Monitoro, a web scraping service that notifies customers of changes on websites, has successfully built and scaled its product using Supabase and Svelte. In just one month, the company went from handling zero API requests to nearly one million per day. By choosing Supabase over other options like Firebase or Hasura, Monitoro was able to quickly launch version 2 of their product with real-time functionality while avoiding vendor lock-in and leveraging PostgreSQL's ecosystem. This allowed the team to focus on customer discovery and marketing, leading to rapid growth in their user base.
