I set up a GetBlock node — here’s why it just works

Hey folks, just wanted to share a quick win. After testing a bunch of RPC providers for Solana, I landed on GetBlock, and honestly — it’s been smooth.
My situation:
Needed a fast, stable Solana RPC endpoint for my dApp without spending days setting up full nodes or managing infra. Most free options I tried were either slow, rate-limited, or just unreliable.
My solution:
Switched to GetBlock — took literally 5 mins to grab a private endpoint, plugged it into my setup, and instantly got better performance.
No rate limits (on paid tier)
99.9% uptime so far
Good dev dashboard and logs
Scales well without extra configs
I’m not affiliated — just genuinely impressed. If you're tired of babysitting your node or fighting rate limits, worth a try.
