Automated Competitor Pricing & ETL Pipeline
Overview
Designed and built a fully automated data pipeline to track competitor pricing and inventory across multiple e-commerce sources for evan.com.tr, replacing what had previously been manual, time-consuming monitoring.
Architecture
Web scraping services running in Docker containers on a remote Windows Server, feeding raw pricing/inventory data through a scheduled Python-based ETL layer. Transformed data lands in a structured format that powers dashboards used by the business team for pricing and stock decisions — running with no manual intervention once deployed.
Design Decisions
Containerized each scraper independently for isolation and easier redeployment when target sites changed structure. Used scheduled batch ETL rather than real-time streaming, since pricing data didn't need sub-hourly freshness and batch processing was simpler to operate and debug reliably on a single remote server.
What I'd Change Today
With more infrastructure experience since, I'd move this toward a managed cloud scheduler (e.g. AWS EventBridge + Lambda or ECS) instead of a single remote server, add proper monitoring/alerting for scraper failures rather than manual checks, and introduce a message queue between the scraping and transform stages for better fault isolation.
