Stop Managing Browser Sessions Yourself. Use Steel and Convex

Most browser automation setups work fine until they don't. You get Puppeteer running locally. It works. You ship it. Then a server restarts mid-session, a user's data gets lost, and you realize you have no idea which sessions belong to which users or what state they're in. This is not a Puppeteer problem. It's a missing infrastructure problem. Browser sessions are stateful. They have owners. They have lifetimes. They need to be tracked and cleaned up. None of that is built in anywhere. Steel and Convex fix this together. Here's how. The actual problem When you run Puppeteer yourself, the session state lives in memory on your server.
