Blockdaemon Cuts Hardware Nodes by 90% and Unlocks New Revenue with Zuplo
Blockdaemon switched from Apigee to Zuplo's edge-native API gateway to reduce operational costs, boost global performance, and unify API management
Key Benefits
Massive Infrastructure Reduction
Blockdaemon dramatically reduced their hardware node requirements, leading to significant operational savings.
Cost Efficiency
Switching to Zuplo resulted in substantial savings on API gateway expenses compared to their previous solution.
Global Expansion
Zuplo's edge-native approach enabled seamless expansion into new geographic regions that were previously challenging.
Global Growth Constraints
Blockdaemon's reliance on Apigee led to unsustainable costs and latency issues limiting global growth. Fragmented gateways and siloed APIs created management challenges and security risks. The result was a disjointed user experience with multiple API keys per product.
As the leading infrastructure provider for blockchain serving major customers like Goldman Sachs and Microsoft, Blockdaemon faced specific technical challenges that were hampering their ability to scale globally and provide a consistent experience.
They needed a flexible, multi-region gateway with fine-grained security, programmable policies, and intelligent routing to optimize real-time blockchain transactions. They also required gateway data access to power an internal billing engine.
Pain Points
- Regional Latency IssuesStunted growth in the APAC and EU regions
- Inconsistent API ExperienceDisjointed customer experience across APIs
- Centralization GapLack of centralized control
- Cost ControlHigh add-on costs with Apigee
90% Reduction in Hardware Nodes
Within two months of implementing Zuplo, Blockdaemon successfully migrated critical systems and achieved a dramatic 90% reduction in hardware nodes, significantly lowering their infrastructure costs and management overhead.
70% Cost Savings
Blockdaemon realized substantial financial benefits, with a 70% reduction in API gateway costs compared to their previous solution, freeing up resources for other strategic initiatives.
Seamless Global Expansion
Zuplo's edge-native architecture enabled Blockdaemon to expand into new geographies that were previously challenging due to latency issues, particularly in the APAC and EU regions.
Enhanced Reliability & Customer Experience
The improved availability and resiliency of their API infrastructure translated directly to a better experience for Blockdaemon's customers, with more consistent performance and reduced downtime.
