Run AI-generated
spiders at scale.
Your infrastructure.

Estela is the open-source spider orchestration platform where engineering teams deploy, schedule, and monitor web scraping at scale — whether you write your spiders by hand or let AI generate them. On your servers or ours.

Deploy AI-generated Scrapy spiders and run them in production in minutes
Feed your AI models and RAG pipelines with fresh, structured web data
Full visibility into every job, project, and spider — in one place

Everything your team needs
to extract data at scale

From deployment to scheduling to monitoring — Estela handles the orchestration so your team handles the insights. AI-generated or hand-written, every spider runs the same way.

01

Deploy via REST API

Push your spider with a single CLI command — whether you wrote it yourself or generated it with an AI tool. Estela handles containerization, resource allocation, and execution environment automatically.

02

Schedule & automate

Set cron jobs, event triggers, or run on-demand. Keep your AI models and data pipelines fed with fresh web data automatically — no manual intervention required.

03

Structured output, AI-ready

Every spider run surfaces extracted items directly in your dashboard, structured and ready to export. Feed your RAG pipelines, fine-tune your models, or push to any downstream system — no extra tooling required.

04

Search logs & debug fast

Full execution history with searchable logs. Find the exact line where a spider breaks — whether it was hand-coded or AI-generated — without downloading anything.

05

Monitor in real time

Live logs, execution metrics, status per job. Full visibility into every spider's performance — without digging through server logs.

06

Transparent usage & costs

See exactly how much CPU, memory, storage, and bandwidth every project consumes. No surprises at the end of the month — whether you're running 3 spiders or 300.

Stop managing scrapers.
Start powering your AI.

Most scraping setups break under scale — fragmented tools, opaque costs, zero visibility. And now AI teams need reliable web data more than ever. Estela was built to fix both problems.

🤖

Built for the AI era

Engineering teams today use ChatGPT, Claude, and other LLMs to write Scrapy spiders faster than ever. Estela is the platform where those spiders run — giving you the orchestration layer your AI-generated code needs to operate reliably at scale. From prompt to production in minutes.

One platform, all your spiders

Deploy and manage every spider from a single dashboard and REST API — whether hand-written or AI-generated. No more scattered scripts, ad-hoc solutions, or context switching between tools.

🧠

Fresh data for your AI models

RAG pipelines, LLM fine-tuning, and AI agents all depend on current, structured web data. Estela lets you schedule recurring scraping jobs so your models always have fresh input — not stale snapshots. Your data pipeline runs automatically, your AI stays accurate.

🔍

Full observability

Searchable logs, request tracking, execution metrics — all in one place. Find the exact point where a spider breaks, whether it was hand-coded or generated by an AI tool. No guesswork, no digging through server logs.

📈

Scale without limits — or rewrites

Kubernetes under the hood means elasticity is built in from day one. Open-source and self-hostable — your pipeline, your servers, your rules. Your architecture scales as your data needs grow, with zero vendor lock-in.

🌐

Proxy-ready from day one

Bitmaker Proxy integrates directly into your pipeline — automatic rotation, optimal selection per project. Essential for running AI-generated spiders at volume without getting blocked.
