The challenge
Facebook aggressively detects and blocks bots, but it's the freshest source of real listings.
The solution
An end-to-end production platform: Python/Playwright scrapers for 4 Israeli sources on 3–10 minute cadences, a Node.js/Express backend with Redis+Bull async processing, OpenAI gpt-4o-mini normalization of Hebrew text, S3 image mirroring, MongoDB store, Vue 3 + Tailwind mobile-first frontend, a liveness checker, an alert engine for saved searches, and full AWS infrastructure provisioned with Terraform.
