# Introduction
> Crawlstack is a complete web scraping infrastructure that runs entirely inside the browser.
## The Browser is the Infrastructure
Modern browsers have quietly become incredibly powerful runtimes. Crawlstack leverages this power to collapse the entire scraping lifecycle into a single package. We’ve bundled extraction, **SQLite storage**, and scheduling directly where the web lives.
It runs natively inside any Chromium environment. You can develop locally with a **GUI extension**, then deploy the exact same stack **Headless in Docker** for production scale.
## Core Advantages
High-performance extraction with zero network latency between the runner and the database.
Your browser is a real browser. No stealth plugins or specialized drivers needed.
Use the same code you would in the console. No new framework or specialized DSL to learn.
Start with built-in SQLite. Scale to multi-node setups by linking your own libSQL or Turso instance.
## Getting Started
The best way to understand Crawlstack is to see it in action.
