By 2017, Ahrefs had built a successful SEO tools business powered by OCaml on the backend, but they faced a bottleneck in web application development. Their frontend was built with PHP and jQuery while their data processing lived in OCaml. Every time frontend developers needed backend data, they had to coordinate with backend engineers to update the APIs.

Building and operating a web crawler at internet scale presents extraordinary challenges. Ahrefs needed to index billions of web pages continuously, process petabytes of data in real-time, and turn this massive dataset into actionable insights for thousands of customers worldwide. The technical demands are staggering: their systems must handle **500 billion backend requests per day** while maintaining **over 100PB of storage**.
