Solutions Engineer at OrbitFlare
Sourav Mishra help build low-latency Solana infrastructure at OrbitFlare — shred streaming, gRPC pipelines, and eBPF-powered networking, mostly in Rust. He writes the kind of deep dives he wishes existed when he started: what a shred actually is, why Solana's VM shares a lineage with the packet filter in your kernel, and how to get transaction data out of the network before everyone else does.

Jito ShredStream Shutdown: Your Migration Guide
Jito ShredStream shuts down September 5, 2026. Here's what actually breaks, what doesn't, and how to migrate your Solana shred pipeline without a rebuild.
Jetstream V2 - The Ins and Outs
Jetstream V2 streams the same shred-level transactions as V1, but each message now carries more: resolved lookup tables, fee payers, compute prices, and filters you can change without reconnecting. This article walks through everything that changed, what it unlocks, and how to use it from the Rust and TypeScript SDKs.
p-token: How Solana Rewrote Its Most Important Program
Solana swapped in a new SPL Token program at the same address, and every transfer now costs about 60x less.
Top 10 Solana RPC Providers in 2026
Ranked breakdown of the ten Solana RPC providers worth considering in 2026, with a benchmarking checklist and a use-case-to-vendor map.
Dual-Stream Solana Indexer
Build a Solana indexer that pulls from Orbit's Jetstream and Yellowstone gRPC simultaneously, merging both into a single queryable Postgres database.
Before the Block, There's the Shred
Every transaction on Solana is broken into 1,228-byte fragments called shreds before it reaches a single validator. They travel through a stake-weighted tree, and whoever sees them first has the edge.
The Two BPFs: How a Packet Filter Runs Code on Your Favourite Blockchain
Your Solana programs compile to the same bytecode that secures kernels at Netflix, Cloudflare, and Facebook. Two forks of one VM - one observes the system, the other is the system.
Building a Real-Time Solana Wallet Tracker
Tired of chasing Solana transactions and always being behind? Fret no more. Let's build a wallet tracker using OrbitFlare's Jetstream that filters and streams transactions in real-time, decodes PumpFun trades and fires alerts based on activity that you add in the config.
