Case Study: Daltix cuts scraping costs by 90% with Apify SDK

How a retail data agency saved 90% costs on web scraping

Daltix, a retail data analytics company, faced significant challenges with their web scraping infrastructure built on Scrapy. They hit structural limits that hindered growth, encountered frequent blocking from advanced anti-scraping protections, and expended enormous engineering effort on maintenance. Seeking a solution, they turned to the vendor Apify.

By migrating their scrapers to the Apify SDK, Daltix modernized their tech stack. This switch resulted in a 90% reduction in Amazon EC2 costs, a 60% improvement in data collection efficiency, and a 30% decrease in required engineering input. The solution from Apify enabled Daltix to scale its operations from 2 million to over 5 million resources scraped daily.
