Before you switch

Switching from Triton,
step by step.

A migration you can measure, with your current provider kept in place until the fit is clear.

01

Inventory the integration

Inventory standard RPC methods, subscriptions and all provider-specific APIs.

02

Test the same workload

Measure the same traffic from the same host and region across representative busy periods. Track missing events, reconnect behavior, errors, response times and cost.

03

Validate your stream

For streaming, validate protobuf versions, filters, data completeness, replay behavior and backpressure handling.

04

Move with a rollback path

Keep your existing provider while you test. Start with a read-only workload or an additional endpoint; expand only when the measured fit is clear.

Evaluate with confidence

OrbitFlare vs Triton: common questions.

Can I use Triton and OrbitFlare together?
Yes. Begin with a staging or read-only workload and keep your current provider. Compare errors, response times, data freshness and cost before expanding.
Do I need to change application code?
Verify authentication, methods, filters, commitments and limits. Standard interfaces may preserve your client pattern, while provider-specific APIs can require changes. OrbitFlare now supports DAS; compare required methods and response fields rather than assuming complete parity.
Which provider is faster?
Test a representative workload from the same host and region. Measure tail latency, missing records, retries and transaction outcomes. There is no universal result across all workloads.
How should I compare pricing?
Triton’s published $125 is a prepaid usage deposit, not a $125/month subscription. Bandwidth and calls are metered; shreds have separate charges.
