Geppytto is a headless chrome cluster proxy, it warps a cluster of browsers into two kinds of virtual browsers:

• Free browser: A browser that has a single incognito browser context, a random browser process on a random cluster node will be selected to serve this incognito context, and when disconnected, all user data will be cleared.
• Named browser: A browser that has full function as a real browser process, and it lives on a fixed cluster node, user data will be kept when disconnected and you can connect back any time you want.

How does it work?

The architecture of Geppytto is showing below

The Geppytto has two main component:

• Geppytto: Each node runs a single Geppytto process, it accepts connections and launch children Agent processes
• Agent: Each Agent process will launch one Browser, and keep an eye on that browser.

The main workflow is:

Why it's call Geppytto?

• Because Pu(y)ppetter controls browsers
• Because Pinocchio is a puppet
• Because Geppetto is Pinocchio's father
• And because Geppytto is written in Python
