Choosing an Endpoint

Choose endpoints based on your application workload, not just convenience.

Questions to Answer

• do you need only chain RPC or also history/indexing
• are you building for development, production, or both
• can the app tolerate public endpoint rate limits
• do you need SLAs or provider support

Common Patterns

Public Endpoint First

Good for prototypes, testing, and low-volume tools.

Managed Provider

Good for production apps that need stronger reliability guarantees.

Mixed Strategy

Use separate endpoints for read, write, and history workloads when the app justifies the complexity.
