With the current blockchain landscape, maintaining self-hosted nodes is expensive, unreliable, and extremely time-consuming.
Running and maintaining self-hosted nodes can be a blockchain developer's #1 pain.
- An average of $86k/year in costs
- $2k-5k/month in AWS costs
- $4800/month of engineering time
- Teams waste 25% of engineering resources managing nodes
- It takes 3-6 months to develop robust infrastructure
- Failures can be catastrophic, requiring up to 3 weeks to recover
- Nodes on average have issues once every 5 days:
- CPU spikes, memory leaks, disk issues
- Inconsistent peering
- Corrupted internal databases
- Transaction broadcasting issues
- Frequent bugs + regressions
- 1 in 6 “stable releases” are broken
Alchemy solves three core challenges:
- Reliably connecting to the blockchain
- Scaling your application
- Developer tooling
- This makes it accessible by anyone, anywhere as long as there's internet
- Requests sent through Alchemy get written to the public chain.
- If Alchemy were to shut down, data is still accessible by switching providers or running your own nodes.
This fact is instrumental to understanding the difference between using web2 vs. web3 infrastructure.
- Alchemy's core products are here to eliminate the pains of self-hosting nodes, in addition to providing world-class developer tools.
