tech behind comparison sites ?

Does anyone have experience with comparison sites? broadband, insurance, Mobile providers data providers, credit /bank account etc?

I would love to pick your brain about the tech involved behind these sites ...

When you say "tech" do you mean infrastructure or architecture? I think there's a lot of scraping going on. It's not that difficult as Puppeteer alone can get past preventative measures like Distil Networks. Curious to know what info you're after.

To be honest I would be intrested to learn about both infrastructure or architecture ? Working on something similar and would be great to get ideas on making more efficient portal I am building something where customers can easily filter out products /packages based on their needs ...

On the architecture side the main challenge will be designing the database schema which you'll want to get somewhat right from the start. Is your stack going already? This is going to be either Python/Django or PHP/Laravel. Your comparison pages should be very nicely google and fb compatible with some complementary tools layered on top with VueJS. Build it with an api in mind from the start so you can build a react-native app on top if you ever want to. I hope that helps but if you need other suggestions or have specific questions fire away.

Amazing thank you very much , Your response was very insightful , Just finished my meeting with dev team, Thinking to go with PHP/Laravel option and yes API is a must
