MegaETH has decided to build its own RPC stack, and downtime is expected during the testing period

ChainCatcher news, MegaETH co-founder Lei Yang posted on social media that yesterday's RPC outage exposed an interesting edge case. Debugging the RPC method calls led the server to allocate a large amount of memory for an excessively long string, ultimately resulting in memory exhaustion.

The MegaETH team decided to build their own RPC stack to apply multiple optimizations on the RPC stack to improve performance. From a performance perspective, the results are excellent, but the trade-off is that the team has to handle the infrastructure's operational maintenance themselves.

More outages are expected in the future, and more post-mortem analysis reports will be released, hoping these reports can spark interesting discussions. They encourage everyone to provide more edge cases for testing now rather than encountering issues months later.
