Ship a browser agent on Browserbase
A production browser-agent stack with anti-bot resilience, session replay, and a kill switch.
Prereqs
- Browserbase account
- Node 20+
Browser agents go to production faster on hosted infrastructure than on self-hosted Playwright fleets. Here is the path that works.
Step 1: Pin a browser version
Non-determinism in browser-agent runs is mostly an environment problem. Pin the browser version.
Step 2: Add a kill switch
Every browser run needs a hard timeout, a max-tool-calls limit, and a human override.
Step 3: Capture session replay
Replay is non-negotiable. You will spend most of your debugging time watching sessions.
Step 4: Tune anti-bot handling
Budget for Cloudflare, Akamai, and PerimeterX-class defenses on real targets. Test against them.
