just read this from google's gary illyes - turns out googles crawler is just one of many clients in a big centralized platform. he got into some nitty-grit details about how it all works, which was pretty cool to see!
i always wondered if there were other crawlers doing the same job and now we know for sure i'm curious - does anyone here have experience with similar systems? or maybe you've noticed any changes in your site's crawling behavior recently?
