Selenium Grid 4 and Appium together in harmony
summary
Grid 4 introduces a rewritten, modular Grid with an event bus for scale, built‑in Docker dynamic nodes, VNC and video recording, and GraphQL observability. A small HTTP relay node forwards WebDriver traffic to Appium (localhost:4723) so Appium works without changing servers. Demo boots with Terraform to 100 nodes on AWS, spins containers per session, records video files named by session id, and successfully runs parallel Android/iOS sessions — migration via the relay is supported.
