Solana RPC Node remains behind: growing care for developers
As a member of the Solan Community, this is probably not a foreign challenge to work with the network. With more than 10 million unique directions that are currently active on the platform, the management of a successful project requires commitment, experience and deep understanding of basic technology.
However, lately, many developers have informed that they have had difficulty connecting with their local RPC nodes (remote procedure called). The problem is not new, but its visibility has grown significantly in recent weeks. In this article, we will deepen the reasons behind this problem and explore possible solutions.
Problem
When the developer tries to connect with his local RPC node in Solana, he is likely to find a message about the “RPC node that is backward”. This statement seems contradictory as it would be assumed that the knot is working properly. However, it is crucial to understand what this message also means why the developers have trouble connecting.
From the technical point of view, when the developer connects with a local RPC knot using Solana API, they are basically inviting to recover the latest network block data. This procedure implies several steps, which include:
- Connecting on the salt network using the
Solana-RpcLibrary.
- Create an instance of a RPC buyer who can handle events and updates of the network.
- Recovery of the latest data block using
Getlatestblocknumber ()`.
The problem arises when developers try to regain the last block, which requires a certain amount of computer power. Solana network is designed to be effective in energy, but that means that older RPC nodes may not have enough resources to process large traffic connections or frequent updates.
Why the groove 1900 behind?
So why do developers have problems with connecting and stay behind the performance of the network? The answer is in the video update. Each time the developer updates his local knot to a new shot (the recording is a set of knots that have been updated at regular intervals), the RPC buyer must renew ties with all other nodes.
This procedure involves sending the messages “Snaps”, which are basically updating in the network state. These updates may take some time to spread through the net, and when they do, you can create temporary delays for developers who depend on actual updates.
1900 grooves behind the enigma
When the developer takes the latest footage update, his RPC knot is updated with new recording data. However, this process takes time to complete, which can lead to a situation where the knot remains behind the performance of the network with a significant margin, in this case, 1900 places.
Basically, a local programmer node “freezes” or delays, while the latest updates are expected to spread through the net. This delay may be significant, especially if the developer is based on the actual updates of the events and transactions of the salt pans.
Action Call
The situation has caused concern among developers, who are struggling to be up to date with growing demand for Solan services. To solve this problem, we recommend taking some steps:
- Update the last recording
: Make sure you use the last available current update.
- Optimize RPC Configuration : Experiment with different connections options and optimize your RPC customer’s configuration to reduce delay.
- Use an updated Solana Library : Consider using newer versions of the ‘Solana-Rpc’ library that can provide better performance and reliability.
- Supervise the congestion of the network : Be careful at the level of congestion of the network and adjust its use accordingly.
