RE: Global API Node Infrastructure DHF Proposal v2 | Major API Expansion

in HiveDevs2 years ago

I also think, choosing one location/continent where we lack enough servers would be better way to go. api.hive.blog is mostly US based, right, so api.deathwing.me could be Asia based and rpc.ecency.com or others could be EU based, etc. Not necessarily run on same continent but have more prominent exposure there. That way, apps, services, know and direct traffic coming from those areas to those nodes for better performance.

Sort:  

I have to disagree, this would create confusion for users and potentially result in one operator going down, taking down the entire region with them for whatever reason. In an ideal world, as I have discussed with Gandalf, we would have individual node operators operating their own nodes worldwide. Not having to rely on @blocktrades, myself or @ecency. But unfortunately, it is something that not many people are willing to undertake.

I didn’t say do entire region only, used prominent word. And users confusion part is not related, people don’t use RPC or at least they shouldn’t worry about them, services and apps should handle that so they don’t have to. Yes, ideally every service or app having their own instance.
