Actor Standby: Make your Actors ready for advanced tasks

Actor Standby is a new way to run Actors on Apify platform. It lets you run the Actor in the background, waiting for incoming requests, hence the name “standby”. Traditional Actors run a single job and then stop, which works well for many use cases, but in some scenarios, you need fast response times:

- Real-time data processing: When data needs to be processed in real-time, having Actors on standby ensures there are no delays.

- Event-driven automation: for tasks triggered by specific events, Standby Actors can handle the load immediately, ensuring timely execution.

- High-frequency scraping: if your scraping tasks require frequent execution, keeping your scraping Actors on standby minimizes downtime and maximizes throughput.

The webinar will be led by Jiří Moravčík, developer of the Actor Standby feature and Backend Engineer at Apify, and moderated by our Developer Community Manager, Saurav Jain. Together, they will guide you in building the most advanced and efficient Actors using standby mode on October 7th at 9 AM EST. The event will be streamed live on YouTube. Register, and we will send you the link before the webinar.
