Cloud Compute
A curated collection of the best cloud compute platforms and serverless runtimes for running scrapers and data pipelines at scale.
Quick answer
Cloud compute picks depend on job shape. Modal fits serverless Python jobs and GPU-capable tasks, Fly.io fits long-lived workers or small VMs close to users, and AWS Lambda fits short event-driven tasks that stay within Lambda's documented 15-minute execution limit.

How much does cloud computing cost?
Costs depend on the services, resources and usage you choose. Check compute time, storage, data transfer and the applicable pricing model. AWS offers pay-as-you-go services, commitment discounts and some flat-rate plans. Estimate your own workload using current provider pricing; there is no single cloud computing price.
