How Agnostic Engineering improved storage latency for running Polygon nodes on AWS

Blog



Agnostic Engineering developed an optimized solution for running Polygon nodes on AWS with improved storage latency by combining different storage technologies.

  • Used EC2 instance store volumes (NVMe SSD) in RAID 0 configuration for low-latency storage
  • Added an EBS gp3 volume in RAID 1 configuration for data durability and backup
  • Configured write-mostly settings to prioritize reads from faster instance store volumes
  • Implemented OpenZFS file system with compression and optimized settings
  • Chose i3en.6xlarge EC2 instance with two 7500 GB NVMe SSD instance store volumes

The solution provides high-performance blockchain node storage with improved latency, durability, and cost-efficiency compared to traditional EBS volume setups.
