Deploying Scrapy Projects on the Cloud
We are currently running a closed beta of Bitmaker Cloud (free and unlimited). Bitmaker Cloud gives you easy management of scraping workloads via a web dashboard and API. Only Scrapy spiders are supported at the moment (additional languages/frameworks are on the roadmap). Bitmaker Cloud is powered by estela, an elastic web scraping cluster running on Kubernetes. estela is a modern alternative to proprietary platforms such as Scrapy Cloud, as well as OSS projects such as scrapyd. The source code of estela and estela-cli is available on Github.

Only Scrapy support atm, but additional scraping frameworks/language are on the roadmap. Would be good to know which ones to prioritize over others :-)

Typed E2E test IDs
We start with a project that was bootstrapped with npx create-next-app. For the E2E test we use Playwright and set it up as described in the testing guide provided by Next.js.

Playwright Scraping infinite loading & pagination
Playwright is a powerful tool developed by Microsoft, it allows developers to write reliable end-to-end tests and perform browser automation tasks with ease. What sets Playwright apart is its ability to work seamlessly across multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, and WebKit), it provides a consistent and efficient way to interact with web pages, extract data, and automate repetitive tasks. Moreover, it supports various programming languages such as Node.js, Python, Java, and .NET, that’s making it a versatile choice for web scraping projects. Whether you're scraping public data for analysis, building a web crawler, or automating manual workflows, Playwright has you covered.

Sometimes things simply don't work
The consensus I could gather is either use playwright or use a workaround to solve it in the puppeteer layer. The root cause of the bug is a websocket size limitation on the CDP protocol for chromium.

The best testing strategies for frontends
With the advent of tools like Puppeteer and now Playwright, end-to-end testing has become much easier and more reliable. For anyone who's used Selenium in the past, you know what I'm talking about. Puppeteer has opened the way in terms of E2E tooling, but Playwright has taken it to the next level and made it easier to await for certain selectors or conditions to be fulfilled (via locators), thus making tests more reliable and less flaky. Also, it's a game changer that it introduced a test-runner - this made the integration between the headless browser and the actual test code much smoother.

Adding standalone or "one off" scripts to your Playwright suite
This means you cannot place test files outside of this directory, which was brought up as a question on Github some time ago. Initially, I thought it would be nice to add another folder in the repo called "scripts", but Playwright does not allow multiple testDir values.
