Case Study: Fortmatic achieves faster blockchain data processing and reliable infrastructure with Alchemy

Fortmatic speeds blockchain data processing 3-4x with Alchemy

Fortmatic, a company building an SDK for seamless blockchain interactions, faced significant challenges with its unreliable node infrastructure provider. Issues like unstable WebSocket connections that failed over 100 times a day and unannounced breaking changes forced the team to spend 2-3 hours daily on upkeep and build complex workarounds. This infrastructure hustle was a major drain on resources, leading Fortmatic to seek a new solution from vendor Alchemy.

By implementing Alchemy's reliable infrastructure and WebSocket services, Fortmatic immediately solved its core issues. The solution eliminated the need for their workarounds and drastically reduced time spent on infrastructure from 60-90 hours per month to almost zero. The performance for end-users became 3-4x faster, with transaction confirmation times dropping from 20-30 seconds to just 7 seconds. Alchemy's responsive support and future-proof solutions also provided Fortmatic with the peace of mind to focus on product development.
