# Benchmark standard

We regularly compare the performance of our endpoints with those of other industry providers. This rigorous benchmarking assists us in establishing a performance baseline, ensuring our endpoints consistently match or even surpass the competition.

**Testing Setup**

* **Server Configuration:** A dedicated CPU-Optimized DigitalOcean Droplet, equipped with 16 vCPUs and 32GB of Memory.
* **Server Location:** Frankfurt (FRA1).
* **Benchmarking Tool:** For consistency and precision, we rely on [Flood](https://github.com/paradigmxyz/flood/) as our go-to benchmarking software.

**What's in Our Benchmark Report?**

* Details on providers and the exact flood commands executed.
* Percentile Latency metrics, including P50, P90, and P99.
* Throughput rates.
* Success rate metrics.

***Note:** We also keep a vigilant eye on our benchmark server during tests. This diligence guarantees the absence of any CPU/IO bottlenecks, assuring that our benchmarks focus entirely on evaluating the RPC endpoints' performance.*
