Infura’s new open source API benchmarking tool compares API workload across different node implementations and Web3 providers.

Deciding whether to run your own Ethereum node (or nodes), outsource your infrastructure to a Web3 provider like Infura, or deploy a hybrid node solution really depends on your API workload. To help developers evaluate their options, we’ve built Versus: an open source API benchmarking tool. Versus compares your API workload across different node implementations and Web3 providers so you can make data-based decisions.
Tests run using the Versus tool are 99% reproducible. In this post we step through a sample test to demonstrate how the tool works, and share the test parameters and results so others can follow the same method and reproduce them.
