Who is the fastest and most reliable node provider out there now? Can't build our way out of the bear market if RPC calls are taking 800ms to complete

Quicknode claims 200ms, no idea if it's true. Are you doing big multicall bodies?

Im the guy that posted all those factory memes once

Maybe it's time for a node benchmarking tool.. something like siege or ab but for blockchain nodes.

What kinds of workloads/requests would you want to see?

Massive multicall batches, 200-1000 read calls at a time are normal for us. IMO

Multicall as in you're hitting the multicall contract once with a huge payload, or batching RPC calls in a single network call?

it's kind of surprising that we haven't had much innovation as far as it comes to blockchain nodes. Imagine if we had /dev/ethereum

And agree, this should be totally reasonable. 

Basically we're just reading data from disk and most of it is data that does not change.

Makes sense. Definitely are pros and cons to each -- multiple RPC calls batched into a single network request = very easy to parallelize. And multicall = when it works it's such a huge time saver.

Probably both modes of operation are a good test TBH but for us it's large multicall bodies in a single rpc call
