Tired o10-11x faster while consuming 10x less RAM compared to Chrome headless, coupled with near-instant startup times. It directly tackles the challenges developers face when scaling resource-heavy tasks like web scraping or building AI agents that interact with the web, offering a significantly leaner alternative.
In this Live Stream, You'll Discover:
Live Performance Demo: Witness Lightpanda's speed and minimal resource footprint firsthand as we run comparisons against traditional headless browsers. See the difference "built for headless" makes.
Quick Start Guide: We'll walk you through installing Lightpanda (available for Linux, macOS via direct download, and Windows via WSL) and running your first commands, like fetching and dumping web page content (./lightpanda fetch --dump URL).
Seamless Integration (Puppeteer/Playwright): Learn how easily you can integrate Lightpanda into your existing automation scripts. We'll show you how to launch the Lightpanda CDP server (./lightpanda serve --host 127.0.0.1 --port 9222) and connect your Puppeteer or Playwright code by simply changing the browserWSEndpoint. Keep your scripts, swap the engine!
The Road Ahead: Hear directly from the creators about the future vision for Lightpanda, including the roadmap for expanding Web API coverage (a known current limitation ) and the ambition to provide a fundamentally better browser for machine-driven tasks.
