#MetaplanetBTCPurchase Got it! Here are the key challenges with running self-managed blockchain nodes, summarized for clarity:

Common Challenges of Self-Managed Nodes

Infrastructure Uncertainty

Struggling to choose the right compute (CPU, RAM) for workloads.

Difficulty selecting storage (SSD vs. HDD) for optimal cost-performance.

Operational Overhead

Excessive maintenance (updates, security patches, monitoring).

Manual scaling issues as transaction volume or network size grows.

Scalability Limitations

Hard to adapt to sudden demand spikes (e.g., NFT drops, DeFi surges).

Risk of downtime or performance bottlenecks.

Why It Matters

Self-managed nodes require time, expertise, and cost trade-offs. Solutions like AWS Node Runners or managed services (e.g., Amazon Managed Blockchain) can mitigate these challenges.
