Scraping 800,000 chapters with Python

High Scale Scraping Lessons

Collecting over 800,000 manga chapters is fundamentally an exercise in distributed rate-limiting, network resiliency, and disk I/O management.

Key Strategies

1. Worker Pools: Concurrency models using asyncio queues.
2. Smart Backoff: Exponential backoff on rate limits.
3. Relational Storing: Storing assets directly on optimized object storage with normalized relational indices in MySQL.
