Well, from amazonaws.com, there are so many requests for wp-login.php! And then all the off-brand scraping companies use amazonaws.com.

What do you mean by off-brand scraping? You mean search engines that you haven't heard of, or copyright violating orgs?

Some AWS visitors:

Cliqzbot, VidibleScraper/1.0, CheckMarkNetwork, CCBot/2.0 (http://commoncrawl.org/faq/), linkdexbot/2.2; +http://www.linkdex.com/bots/

That last one is a "SEO platform".

Sounds like a great idea. Would you mind creating an issue here so we can track this? https://github.com/graphcool/chromeless/issues

Done.

There's a section in the readme which I'm not sure of - "Running integration Tests for example is much faster." I guess that gains is from the parallel executions. But for the integration testings, there is still work to be done to make a central controller / runner to distribute various tests to different Lambda instances, correct? If that's the case, is loadtesting using Chromeless be another use case? Just initiate in parallel and blast the app infrastructure. It won't be efficient in terms of costs as using non-real browsers but this is probably as realistic as simulating real users load through real browsers.
