    Divide your data into manageable chunks. Use pagination or batch processing to split up scraping tasks, which reduces the memory load.

    Store data in compressed formats like Parquet or Avro, which save space and load faster. Pandas and Dask in Python make working with large data easy.

    Consider using a database, like MongoDB or SQLite, for temporary storage. Databases handle large data more efficiently than local memory.

    I stream data directly into a storage solution, like AWS S3 or a similar cloud service, to avoid using up local resources.

    If your script handles data in real-time, try Redis or Kafka for fast data handling without excessive memory usage.
