Run python code in cloud without stopping
Question:
I have python code that depends on specific libraries like selenium and interaction with google chrome to extract data from the web.
my code works fine but i need a lot of records to do analysis, so i can’t leave my computer on, to run the script for a month.
That’s why I thought of running the script in a cloud service like aws but I don’t have a clear idea of how to do it, because I need the script to not stop
and I would rather not have to pay for it (or at least not that much money)
That said, my code opens a website, looks for a specific text data and saves it in a csv document.
I thank you in advance for the help
Answers:
You will have to check the terms of each cloud service as many do have downtime/restarts on their free tiers.
The kind of task you’re describing shouldn’t be very resource hungry, so you may be better off setting up your own server using a Raspberry Pi or similar.
