Considering streaming data? LaserStream is our recommended solution for most streaming use cases. It offers enhanced reliability, historical replay, auto-reconnection, and multi-node failover without infrastructure management. Compare LaserStream vs Dedicated Nodes to choose the right solution for your needs.

Dedicated nodes are specifically designed for gRPC streaming applications and should be combined with a shared plan for comprehensive Solana development needs:

  • gRPC Streaming: Real-time blockchain data streaming with ultra-low latency
  • Data Monitoring: Account, transaction, and block updates via Yellowstone Geyser
  • Trading Applications: High-frequency data feeds for algorithmic trading
  • Analytics: Real-time blockchain analytics and monitoring

​
Node Options

  • AMD EPYC 7443p
  • AMD EPYC 7543p (Best for resource-intensive RPC calls)
  • AMD EPYC 9254 (Best for resource-intensive RPC calls)

​
Access Includes

  • gRPC streaming via Yellowstone Geyser Plugin (primary use case)
  • Standard RPC and WebSocket methods (basic functionality only)
  • Premium support
  • Node clients — Agave (recommended) or Jito Labs

​
Limitations

Important: Dedicated nodes have specific limitations and are not suitable as standalone solutions:

  • sendTransaction Poor Landing Rates: While supported, not optimized - most transactions will not land
  • No Archival Data: Historical data access is not available
  • getProgramAccounts Performance Risk: While supported, heavy usage can impact node performance or cause node failure
  • No Platform Features: APIs, webhooks, and staked connections require a shared plan

Recommendation: Use dedicated nodes for gRPC streaming in combination with a shared paid plan for comprehensive functionality.
