Security-first scraping infrastructure

High reliability, strong isolation, production-grade stability.

NodeRoute runs a security-first scraping platform designed to maximize success rates, protect customer workloads, prevent abuse, and stay stable even at very high scale — across every plan.

Isolation: per-customer worker pools Reliability: smart retries + failover Routing: multi-provider proxy pools Data: encrypted + externalized storage
What this means: you can scale safely from 200 products to 100,000+ SKUs without overload, data loss, or provider lock-in.

Platform security principles

Our infrastructure is built around four core principles that protect customers and keep the platform stable.

1) Stability first

Prevent overload, abuse, and cascading system failure with strict controls.

2) Isolation by design

Strong separation between customers across queues, workers, and data paths.

3) Automatic failover

No single proxy/provider dependency — routing adapts when conditions change.

4) Secure data handling

Externalized storage + encrypted pipelines to protect outputs end-to-end.

Security isn’t a plan upgrade

These principles apply across all tiers — limits scale with volume, but the security model stays consistent.

Traffic control & server protection

We enforce strict rate, concurrency, and job-size constraints to protect target sites, customer workloads, and platform stability.

Rate limiting

Every plan enforces request & usage ceilings to keep performance stable.

  • Requests per minute limits
  • Maximum concurrent jobs
  • Maximum job size
  • Monthly credit limits
Prevents: accidental overload, unfair allocation, noisy-neighbor slowdowns.

Concurrency control

We cap parallelism to prevent resource exhaustion and queue congestion.

  • Max concurrent jobs per user
  • Parallel browser executions
  • High-intensity scraping bursts
Prevents: memory exhaustion, network saturation, worker pile-ups.

Job size limits

Each plan enforces max crawl size to avoid unbounded workloads.

  • Starter: 10k URLs
  • Growth: 100k URLs
  • Scale: 1M URLs
Prevents: infinite loops, queue flooding, storage overload.

Intelligent retry & failover protection

When targets throttle or networks fail, the platform adapts automatically — without hammering target servers.

Smart retry logic

Automatic retries with exponential backoff for transient failures and interruptions.

  • Network failures
  • Temporary blocks
  • Timeout events
  • CAPTCHA interruptions
Why it matters: improves success rates while avoiding aggressive re-requests.

Circuit breaker system

Provider-level circuit breakers stop cascading failures when a route degrades.

  • Auto-disables failing proxy providers/regions/paths
  • Routes traffic to healthy alternatives
  • Restores only after stability is verified
Result: maximum uptime and stable throughput under high load.

Multi-provider routing architecture

NodeRoute supports multi-provider pools and dynamically routes traffic based on real-time signals.

Datacenter proxies Residential proxies Mobile proxies Multi-provider pools
Routing decisions consider: success rate, latency, block detection, and regional availability — preventing provider lock-in, large-scale bans, and regional outages.

Queue & worker infrastructure

Distributed execution built for crash recovery, retries, and tenant isolation.

BullMQ + Redis

High-throughput queues with durability and recovery built-in.

  • Guaranteed job execution
  • Horizontal scaling
  • Retry persistence
  • Crash recovery
  • Dead-letter queues

Worker isolation

Jobs execute in isolated worker pools with strict resource controls.

  • CPU & memory constraints
  • Automatic worker recycling
  • Per-job execution limits
Outcome: one customer cannot impact another.

Execution safety controls

Hard limits keep jobs from stalling or running forever.

  • Hard execution timeouts
  • Browser execution caps
  • Script watchdog timers
Prevents: infinite loops, memory leaks, zombie workers.

Secure data storage architecture

Large datasets are stored in external object storage with strong durability and encrypted transfers.

Externalized object storage

We do not store large scraped datasets directly on VPS servers. Outputs are delivered to object storage providers.

  • Cloudflare R2
  • Backblaze B2
  • Wasabi
  • AWS S3
Benefits: durability, encryption, redundancy, high availability, replication.

Data isolation & secure transfer

Designed to minimize cross-tenant risk and protect data in transit.

  • Per-customer storage buckets
  • Separate access tokens & API credentials
  • Encrypted transfers in transit
  • Token-based access controls
Prevents: cross-tenant exposure, data leakage, unauthorized access.

Platform-level abuse prevention

Automated detection protects both customers and the web from misconfigured or malicious workloads.

Protection mechanisms

We continuously monitor patterns and apply automated controls when behavior looks unsafe.

Burst detection

Detects sudden request spikes and throttles safely.

Abnormal patterns

Flags infinite loops, broken scripts, and exploit attempts.

Emergency termination

Stops jobs when necessary to protect platform stability.

Designed to prevent: accidental DDOS-style scraping, unbounded crawls, misconfigured crawlers, exploit attempts.

Plan-based security controls

Limits scale by plan to match volume, while keeping the same core safety model.

Operational reliability

Built to keep running through crashes, provider issues, and high load.

Automatic recovery

  • Job auto-resume after crashes
  • Worker auto-restart
  • Queue state recovery

Monitoring

  • Real-time health monitoring
  • Proxy performance tracking
  • Latency monitoring
  • Failure rate analysis

Why this matters for your business

You don’t overload your systems or target websites, you don’t lose data, you avoid proxy lock-in, and you can scale safely as volume grows.
