AutoMudo is a vehicle classified search engine. It let’s user quickly and easily browse listings from multiple classified sites. I launched the site in 2019, as of Fall 2020 I’m still trying to find the right product market fit.

Interesting Concepts:

ElasticSearch – ElasticSearch was the natural choice to allow searching and aggregation of millions of near real time documents. It allow AutoMudo to return accurate results from millions of documents in a fraction of a second.

Data Extraction – Data extraction has it own unique challenges, from slight changes in the targets schema to band width. Scrapy is a great library and a good place to start with crawling projects.

Developer.beanstream.com was built with a goal to engage the developer community, this was done through contests for SDKs and an architecture that would allow developers new to Beanstream to quickly explore the documentation and build their first integration.
