The author explains how they processed 1.2 million Common Crawl pages for under $1 without needing a Slurm cluster.\n\nThe core approach involves connecting a DataTrove pipeline to Hugging Face Jobs:\n- Reusing the same pipeline code with a different executor\n- Distributing tasks to cloud Jobs for parallel execution\n- Chaining CPU filtering and GPU inference within the same workflow\n- Automatically skipping completed tasks during reruns\n\nThis process turned 1.2 million pages into 228,000 clean documents. The author notes that while JobsPipelineExecutor is currently experimental, it has already been merged into DataTrove main.
