If you are a developer using snapchain regularly, it is worth considering setting up your own local node. Queries to a local node are really fast. For probably less than $250 you can get a RaspberryPi5 (16GB, it's important), with an internal 1TB SSD (+SD, PSU, etc). It won't be able to support thousands of clients making requests simultaneously, but it's more than enough for any dev, or data analyst.

My setup. I went for 4TB, to have room for other things too, but 1TB is enough (current snapchain db is ~350GB, you will also need ~160GB during the installation for the snapshot download, so, unless we have exponential FC growth, 1TB is fine). https://farcaster.xyz/vrypan.eth/0xd52f185f

Can you briefly explain how it works? Does it keep the whole Farcaster status (like a node on a block chain)? Can you cast from your own node and read whatever you want from that node? That'd be huge.

Oh wow 😯 great suggestion. I’ve been using EC2 instances definitely time to dust off my Raspberry Pi!

I can’t get my hand on a pi5. Where are you ordering them from 👀
