FAQ - Latency
Q. What is the latency like?
Latency greatly varies depending on measurement methods and environments, so providing specific numerical values isn't particularly meaningful. What's important is whether our service meets your requirements. For this reason, ERPC offers free trials for all endpoint plans.
Please start testing now and verify if your specific requirements are met. If the service fulfills your needs, it has value; if not, you might need to explore other options.
We also provide easy-to-use testing tools for newcomers to gRPC and similar services. For details, refer to our Discord and documentation.
Q. Is this RPC (gRPC, Shreds) faster than others?
We offer free trials, allowing you to test and directly compare performance. If you find our service slower than another provider, please share the specific conditions and the comparison details on Discord. We'll investigate the cause and make improvements to surpass the performance you've experienced elsewhere.
We constantly improve our latency based on customer feedback. If you seek the fastest endpoint, please share detailed information so we can work to achieve superior performance.
Q. I'm experiencing high latency. Why?
Are you accessing the endpoint from a physically close location? Distance significantly affects latency. We recommend accessing from servers close to the provided endpoint.
Our network theoretically provides the fastest connections through our Bare-Metal servers and VPS services.
Q. Which is the fastest among WebSockets, gRPC, and Shreds?
Feedback from many customers is quite consistent, and the performance order is as follows:
Shreds > gRPC > WebSockets
If you discover different results or conditions, please let us know.
Q. Latency isn't what I expected.
Performance can vary significantly depending on the programming language used. Typically, language speed comparisons rank as follows:
Rust > Go > TypeScript (JavaScript) > Python
For more detailed comparisons, please see the following resource:
We strongly recommend using Rust if maximum performance is your goal.
