Use Case

Large-Scale Crawler & Continuous Monitoring

Unlimited traffic on a fixed monthly fee — run persistent 24/7 data pipelines with zero bandwidth anxiety.

Scenario

Business background & objectives

News aggregators, price monitoring services, stock availability trackers and compliance monitoring systems require always-on crawlers that run continuously without interruption. Per-GB billing models create unpredictable costs that scale linearly with crawl frequency. Helodata Unlimited Proxies decouple your operational scale from your infrastructure cost — one fixed monthly fee covers any traffic volume, letting engineering teams focus on data quality rather than cost management.

Challenges

Core pain points

  • Per-GB billing creates volatile monthly costs that spike during crawl-intensive periods
  • Continuous 24/7 monitoring requires stable, always-available IP infrastructure without rate limits
  • Target websites implement progressive blocking for IPs that exhibit repetitive crawl patterns
  • Large-scale crawlers require hundreds of concurrent threads to maintain collection velocity
  • Cost unpredictability prevents accurate capacity planning for data-intensive products
Our Solution

Technical solution

  • Switch to Helodata Unlimited plan — flat monthly fee covers all traffic regardless of volume
  • Use rotating residential IP pool to distribute crawler traffic across millions of household addresses
  • Implement Helodata sticky sessions for stateful workflows requiring session continuity
  • Scale concurrent threads from 100 to 5,000+ without additional per-thread costs
  • Monitor pipeline health via Helodata real-time dashboard with webhook alerts for anomalies
