Most companies approach web data collection with ad-hoc solutions - scattered scripts, unreliable infrastructure, and constant firefighting when things inevitably break. We took a fundamentally different approach. Instead of treating collection as a side project, we made it our core competency, building enterprise-grade infrastructure that can scale to millions of operations. This invisible workforce, named “Fleet”, is one of many core-technologies built here at Evrim to redefine what’s possible in large-scale data collection.
Browser automation is the craze right now but we took things back to first principles. There are many ways AI can help us get the data we need from a website, not just by using agents to navigate like a human would. Our intelligent website profiling uses AI to discover the best ways in which to extract information from a website, looking at network traffic, website layout, and other metadata to determine the best course of action. From here, we deploy additional infrastructure to complete the extraction task through our browser fleets and global proxy infrastructure.
Each browser instance operates within carefully defined lifecycle parameters. When a browser has processed a certain number of requests, consumed too much memory, or exhibited performance degradation, the system retires it and spawns a fresh replacement. This happens seamlessly, with zero interruption to ongoing data collection operations.
In a distributed system managing thousands of concurrent operations, race conditions are certain to arise. Our centralized locking mechanism ensures that no two browser instances accidentally step on each other's toes.
Whether it's preventing multiple browsers from hitting the same rate-limited endpoint simultaneously or ensuring that data collection tasks are distributed without overlap, our locking system provides the coordination layer that transforms a collection of independent browsers into a unified, intelligent workforce.
Different industries have vastly different requirements for data collection. Healthcare companies need HIPAA-compliant data handling, financial services require real-time market monitoring, and e-commerce platforms need global price tracking. Traditional point solutions force companies to choose between multiple vendors or compromise on requirements.
Our vertically integrated approach means we can adapt the same core infrastructure to meet radically different compliance, performance, and scale requirements. The underlying browser fleet remains the same, but the operational parameters, security controls, and data handling procedures can adapt to specific needs.
Fleet is a strategic foundation for our data solutions to come. By vertically integrating the entire data collection stack, we've created something more valuable than any individual feature or capability: we've built a platform that adapts, scales, and evolves with our clients' needs.
In a world where data is the new oil, we've built the drilling infrastructure.
