I&#x27;ve also been playing with Scaleway&#x27;s ARM servers for a scraping project  and to learn more about distributed computing. (details here in other HN thread <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10371316" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10371316</a>)<p>I&#x27;ve been able to scale my scraping to over almost 100 requests per second in aggregate across 1.8MM domains. And these little Atom quad core machines are great.<p>I just got my account upgraded to &quot;developer&quot; which mean I can spin up 100 machine (400 cores!), so I&#x27;m going to be experimenting with that.
