A Node.js library that manages a pool of Puppeteer-controlled Chromium instances for running browser tasks in parallel. It handles job queuing, error recovery, browser restarts, retries, and monitoring statistics across multiple concurrency models.

Use cases

  • crawl thousands of pages in parallel with headless chrome
  • take screenshots of many urls concurrently
  • run browser-based tests in parallel
  • scrape websites with automatic retry on failure
  • pool and reuse chromium browser instances
  • monitor progress of a batch of puppeteer jobs

When to choose

  • you need to run many puppeteer tasks concurrently with error handling and retries
  • you want automatic browser restart after crashes
  • you need progress monitoring and statistics for crawling jobs

When to avoid

  • you only need a single browser instance for one-off automation
  • you need distributed scraping across multiple machines
  • your scraping does not require a full browser and can use plain HTTP requests
