Platform RPC Providers
Predefined RPC Providers for Seamless Integration
Backpac’s Platform RPC Providers feature allows you to easily integrate with a set of trusted and reliable RPC providers, such as Alchemy and others, directly within our system. This gives you the flexibility to either leverage our built-in providers or bring your own custom providers to meet the unique needs of your blockchain infrastructure.
What Are Platform RPC Providers?
Platform RPC Providers are pre-configured, reliable RPC endpoints integrated within Backpac's system. These providers are available for you to use out of the box, without needing to configure external services. Whether you’re working with well-known providers like Alchemy or others, these options ensure high reliability, speed, and scalability.
Advantages:
- Pre-configured for Immediate Use: With pre-set connections and optimized settings.
- Supported by Backpac's Load Balancer: Easily integrate into our Load Balancer’s routing and performance management system.
- Reliable and Trusted: Our platform is integrated with established RPC providers that are trusted by blockchain networks globally.
Mixing Custom Providers with Platform Providers
While you can utilize the predefined Platform RPC Providers in Backpac, you also have the flexibility to bring your own custom RPC providers. This allows you to create a hybrid setup, combining your preferred providers with the pre-configured ones for additional performance benefits or geographic diversity.
How It Works:
- Custom RPC Providers: You can integrate your own providers into Backpac’s system. This could be for additional flexibility, or if you have a specific RPC provider you trust more.
- Target Groups: When setting up Target Groups, you can mix both Platform RPC Providers and Custom RPC Providers. This ensures that your system can scale based on your exact requirements, while still leveraging the advantages of Backpac’s integrated providers.
- Load Balancer Integration: Whether using platform or custom providers, you can set load balancing rules to intelligently distribute traffic across the different RPC endpoints within your Target Groups.
Configuring Platform RPC Providers with Target Groups
Step 1: Select Your Platform RPC Providers
- In your Backpac dashboard, go to the Load Balancer section.
- Select Create Target Group or edit an existing group.
- Choose from the pre-configured Platform RPC Providers like Alchemy, or add Custom RPC Providers.
- Configure your Target Group, selecting which RPC providers should handle specific traffic.
Step 2: Assign the Target Group to Listener Rules
- In the Listeners section, select the Listener Rule you wish to configure.
- Attach your newly created Target Group to the Listener Rule.
- Adjust the routing and balancing settings based on the platform and custom RPC providers you’ve chosen.
Step 3: Monitor Performance
- View the Traffic Distribution within the Target Group.
- Use Backpac’s Monitoring tools to ensure that the mix of platform and custom providers is delivering the best performance and reliability.
Key Benefits of Using Platform RPC Providers
- Flexibility: Mix platform and custom RPC providers for tailored solutions.
- Reliability: Access to trusted, pre-configured providers that Backpac has integrated for high performance.
- Scalability: Easily scale your blockchain network by adding new providers to your Target Groups.
- Cost-Efficiency: You can manage costs by choosing the right RPC providers and blending them as needed for your use case.
Use Case Example: Ethereum and Solana Integration
If you are building a solution that requires both Ethereum and Solana data, you could:
- Use Backpac’s Platform RPC Providers for Ethereum (e.g., Alchemy) to ensure high performance and reliability.
- Integrate your own custom RPC provider for Solana if you have a specific provider you prefer or need to optimize cost and performance.
- Set up Target Groups with Ethereum and Solana RPC endpoints and use Load Balancer Listener Rules to direct traffic based on the requested blockchain method.
Conclusion
Backpac’s Platform RPC Providers give you the convenience of using reliable, pre-configured RPC endpoints such as Alchemy, while also offering the flexibility to bring in your own custom providers. By combining both, you can optimize performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency, all while leveraging Backpac’s intelligent load balancing and routing systems.
