BuildTeam High Performance RPC Full Node Cluster
The https://rpc.buildteam.io is a load balanced cluster of not one but two 512GB NVME Raid Servers and one 256GB SSD server. All servers in the cluster support all plugins and runs as a full node including account history.
Free to use by all
https://rpc.buildteam.io is used by a lot of high profile projects for the STEEM blockchain and is publicly available and free to use.
RPC Performance
Most full nodes were unable to complete this test reliably or even once, without failing.
Below are the response times for all the nodes that completed the test successfully at least once. Some of these were unable to repeat the test without throwing errors.
The simple test consists of returning 100 blocks sequentially.

Whoaaaa!
Will definitely use you for my code!
I still don't fully understand what is a rpc-full-node-cluster means. Is it good or bad?
It is very good :) let’s just say that developers build software but need a way for the software to communicate with the blockchain, the rpc nodes allow this to happen, kind of like a “middleman”. Faster nodes mean developers can create software that can handle more users and more transactions, kind of like @steemvoter and @minnowbooster, which process lots of transactions.
Oh and a cluster just means that there are a few nodes working together, so if one fails the others still keep running, also when all three are up means the power of all three are combined to serve even more transaction requests.
Great job guys! RPC nodes are badly needed, and also reliable RPC nodes. Top Notch Job! Thanks
Awesome, thank you. STEEM needs more nodes! I'd like to put one in my location Thailand before long, there's a lot of users here. It's on my very long to do list!
Will you announce downtimes, maintenance, upgrades, etc. for this node?
Would be nice to have a real stable RPC node
cough * api.steemit.com not really * cough
We are currently not doing that publicly but if you run a project that needs this, we may consider it. We already have health checks and monitoring available, but that won't protect us from downtime if steemd has hickups.
no one is protected from steemd hickups;)
but at least maintenance cycles, so ops can switch from one node to another, during that time window.
Like a real service :))
In that case I recommend backup nodes if your library allows them. It can happen that nodes just lock up and just don't respond at all without warning. No one can predict that sadly.
