This live stream provides a hands-on introduction to Lightpanda, a groundbreaking open-source headless browser engineered from scratch for maximum performance and efficiency. Discover how this purpose-built browser, developed over two years using the Zig programming language, delivers up to 11x faster performance while using 10x less RAM compared to Chrome headless. Watch live performance demonstrations comparing Lightpanda to traditional headless browsers, learn installation steps for Linux, macOS, and Windows (via WSL), and explore how to integrate it with existing Puppeteer or Playwright automation scripts by simply changing the browserWSEndpoint. The stream also covers Lightpanda's quick commands for fetching and dumping web page content, and discusses the roadmap for expanding Web API coverage to better serve AI and automation workflows that require web interaction at scale.
