Case Study: Interencheres achieves spam-free forms and controlled bot traffic with DataDome

Interencheres.com manages its bot traffic with DataDome and AWS CloudFront

Interencheres, France’s leading online auction site (founded 2000, aggregating 265 auction houses and about 1 million unique visitors monthly), was overwhelmed by form spam and scraper bots that generated as many as 15,000 bot-driven emails per day and caused unpredictable traffic spikes and frequent on-call incidents. To address this, Interencheres turned to DataDome, deploying its bot-management solution via the AWS Marketplace and integrating it with Amazon CloudFront using Lambda@edge.

DataDome’s protection was implemented quickly (about 1.5 hours in preproduction) to detect and block automated traffic, protect contact forms, and control access while allowing trusted scrapers when desired. As a result—thanks to DataDome—members no longer receive bot-generated spam, traffic peaks now reflect legitimate activity, server load is better managed, and the volume of on-call incidents has dropped dramatically, with the DataDome dashboard providing actionable insights for ongoing traffic and SEO decisions.
