Challenge
Rising Costs and Reliability Issues at Scale
As TrackStreet expanded its coverage and frequency, the team’s previous residential proxy provider became a bottleneck.
- Escalating costs from surging traffic and volume growth.
- Frequent blocking and outages impacting crawl reliability.
- Limited support and slow resolution times from vendors, adding pressure on engineering and customer-facing teams.
“We were crawling more and more websites every day. Our provider was super expensive — and quality was getting worse,” said Igor Gabelev, CTO at TrackStreet.
The instability meant delayed data delivery, increased maintenance overhead, and growing frustration when clients noticed missing or inconsistent data
Solution
Collaborative Integration with Nimble’s Proxy & API Platform
TrackStreet migrated to Nimble’s residential and data-center proxy infrastructure, integrating it directly into their distributed crawling system. The transition was complete within hours, requiring minimal engineering effort.
Beyond performance, Nimble’s collaborative unblocking support became a differentiator:
- Joint troubleshooting on complex targets.
- Direct Slack access to technical support.
- Transparent communication around scaling and optimization.
“The collaboration was a big one. Nimble’s team actually worked with us to explore options and solve the toughest sites — something no other provider did,” Gabelev noted.
Results
Higher Success Rates and 50% Cost Reduction
Since adopting Nimble, TrackStreet has achieved measurable and lasting improvements:
Reliability and responsiveness improved dramatically, allowing TrackStreet’s engineering team to focus on innovation rather than maintenance.
“It’s the most stable proxy solution we’ve used. Our success rate is easily higher than anyone else we’ve tried — and costs are down by half.”
Partnership Impact
Three years in, Nimble remains central to TrackStreet’s data infrastructure. The partnership extends beyond infrastructure to joint exploration of AI-driven data pipelines that automate analysis and visualization for brand customers.
“Someone always listens to us. We get fast responses, direct access, and continuous improvement — it feels like a real partnership.”
When asked to describe Nimble in three words, Igor didn’t hesitate:
“Reliable. High quality. Approachable.”
