How to use this guide
Turn the topic into a decision note.
Use this before you put app traffic on a public endpoint or a paid RPC plan. The useful output is a short workload note, not a vendor logo.
List reads, writes, logs, WebSockets, archive/debug calls, retries, and burst traffic before comparing plans.
Look for the metric that will break first: compute units, RPS, method support, support response, or fallback coverage.
Write down who owns provider alerts, status checks, migration, and the backup endpoint before users depend on it.
What is RPC rate limiting?
RPC rate limiting caps how many requests or compute units an app can send in a period. It protects provider infrastructure but can break user flows if not handled.
What to check next
Test peak flows and decide what the app shows users when throttling occurs.
Common mistake
Do not only test average traffic. Bursts during launches, refreshes, or retries are where limits often appear.
What to do after this guide
Compare at least two relevant products, open the source links, and write down the owner for pricing, support, compliance, security, accounting, or launch questions. The best tool depends on those constraints, not on a generic ranking.
