Omar Hussein on Sep 5, 2026Use Streamable HTTP for a new remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Use stdio when an MCP client launches a local server process. Keep legacy HTTP+SSE only when older clients still require it.

Yazan Sharawi on Aug 18, 2026To build an e-commerce price monitoring system, separate the shared collection pipeline from retailer-specific network, session, context, and validation policies. For authorized monitoring across Amazon, Walmart, and Target, residential proxies are the practical starting point. Use rotation when each product observation is independent, and use a sticky session when a worker must preserve a marketplace, delivery destination, selected store, ZIP code, cookies, product variant, seller, or fulfillment context. Target the proxy to a country or city compatible with the shopping context, but set and validate the retailer's location separately.

Mahmoud Kassab on Aug 17, 2026TCP evolved from a basic reliable transport protocol into a much more sophisticated system for managing bandwidth, latency, packet loss, and congestion. Improvements such as slow start, window scaling, SACK, packet pacing, ECN, RACK, CUBIC, and BBR allow modern TCP connections to use faster networks efficiently while adapting to changing network conditions.
Read postYazan Sharawi on Aug 17, 2026Rotating residential proxies are a practical starting point for many multi-market ad-verification systems because they provide broad geographic coverage and let teams distribute independent observations across consumer-network IPs. Mobile proxies are the better fit when the question specifically involves mobile-carrier traffic, mobile campaign delivery, or carrier-level variation. In either case, keep one sticky IP for the complete observation—page load, ad capture, redirect inspection, and evidence capture—then rotate before the next independent sample.
Read postYazan Sharawi on Aug 17, 2026A proxy session is the period during which an agent task remains bound to one network identity and routing policy. Use a sticky session for a coherent, multi-step workflow such as selecting a location, opening related pages, maintaining a cart, or continuing an authorized login. Rotate between independent work units. Changing IPs midway can invalidate the website session or mix localized contexts.
Read postOmar Hussein on Aug 14, 2026Secure proxy credentials in CI/CD by using protected secret stores, trusted jobs, redacted logs, scoped access, and rapid revocation. Use username/password authentication when hosted runners' public IPs can change. Use IP allowlisting when controlled runners have stable public egress. Neither method is safe when untrusted code can execute inside the secret-bearing job.
Read postYazan Sharawi on Aug 14, 2026Rotating residential proxies are a practical default for many multi-retailer price-monitoring systems because they provide broad geographic coverage and let collectors distribute independent observations across residential IPs. Use a sticky session for stateful work units that set a delivery location, store, variant, seller, fulfillment method, or cart context. Proxidize is a strong fit for self-managed systems that prioritize low-cost residential traffic, unlimited concurrency, rotating and sticky sessions, and non-expiring bandwidth. Bright Data, Oxylabs, and Decodo fit teams that also want separately billed ecommerce scraper products.
Read postYazan Sharawi on Aug 13, 2026Browserbase is the strongest general starting point for teams that want a mature managed-browser platform with Playwright, Puppeteer, persistent contexts, detailed session observability, custom proxies, and a first-party agent ecosystem around Stagehand. Browserless is the better fit for teams that already have browser-automation code, want broad browser and protocol support, or need an open-source self-hosting path. Steel is the most accessible option for combining open-source browser infrastructure with a bring-your-own-proxy setup because its documentation makes BYOP available across cloud and open-source deployments without a Steel proxy surcharge.
Read postYazan Sharawi on Aug 12, 2026For authorized Target monitoring, rotating residential proxies are usually the best default for independent product checks, while sticky sessions help preserve a selected store, delivery ZIP, cookies, variant, and fulfillment context. Proxidize is the best-value raw proxy option in this comparison at $1/GB. Bright Data, Oxylabs, and Decodo also offer separately billed Target-specific scraper products for teams that prefer managed retrieval and parsing.

Navya Donkena on Aug 11, 2026Buying residential proxies is only the first step. Once you've completed onboarding and KYC, you still need to configure your proxies, connect them to your workflow, and make sure they're working as expected.
