Long-lasting partnerships are often the best way forward between companies that can rely on each other for fundamental tasks. With Latitude.sh's bare metal servers, eOracle can run their workloads with the confidence that their operations will perform seamlessly, knowing exactly what they're paying for, and with the assurance that uptime will never be a concern.

eOracle and Latitude.sh Join Forces

Egor Prytkov, the current TechOps lead at eOracle, has a unique perspective on the value of reliable infrastructure partners. Before his role at eOracle, Egor served as an infrastructure director at ChainStack, one of Latitude.sh's major customers. His satisfaction with Latitude.sh’s offerings was so high that he made the conscious decision to keep the partnership intact when he transitioned to his new role.

eOracle is both the largest AVS on Eigenlayer and the largest Oracle network overall – with 130 validators & $10B in staked ETH. The protocol provides blockchain-based data aggregation services, focusing on the secure, transparent recording and verification of real-world data on the blockchain. eOracle distinguishes itself with a particular emphasis on both security and transparency.

Their infrastructure is complex and requires a custom approach. eOracle runs its nodes using Kubernetes, a tool known for its scalability and ease of management, which is key to their growing infrastructure needs. In line with their expansion plans, the company has gradually transitioned from hyperscalers to Latitude.sh to better suit their evolving needs.

“You're responsible, and we can have customizations with you on the security and networking levels. Our current setup is not the default one. We require a lot of customizations, and you did it,” said Egor, highlighting Latitude.sh’s ability to adapt to specific business needs.

"There is an additional point I wanted to highlight: you offer features that none of the other providers have, like the rescue mode with Terminal and Serial Console through SSH, or other similar capabilities. There's always a trade-off between price and features, but from my personal experience and considering our current setup, you are the best fit for us," he added, emphasizing the value Latitude.sh brings to the table.

Cost Reduction and Reliability

In the tech world, the demand for compute power continues to rise, but so does the cost—especially when relying on public cloud providers. Many businesses assume that as their computing needs grow, their expenses will increase accordingly, particularly with the likes of AWS, GCP, or Microsoft Azure.

Unlike cloud virtual machines, which can often lead to unpredictable costs, bare metal servers from Latitude.sh offer a more stable, transparent pricing model. This gives eOracle the ability to better forecast their infrastructure expenses while also gaining access to more computing power and especially, bigger and faster NVMe drives than what would be possible with virtual machines alone. The shift to Latitude.sh has resulted in significant cost reductions, while keeping up with the performance requirements of their operational needs.

As businesses grow and their need for compute power intensifies, many initially turn to the major public cloud providers. However, the growth in compute demand usually makes cloud costs spiral out of control, so companies like eOracle are turning to more transparent, cost-effective solutions like Latitude.sh.

The partnership has already helped eOracle reduce its overall computing costs by a substantial margin—details of which will be shared as the partnership continues to grow. Egor described Latitude.sh in two simple, yet powerful sentences: “Good performance with an affordable price” and “great support with a huge amount of features.”

This speaks volumes about the quality and reliability that Latitude.sh delivers. When eOracle has specific requirements, Latitude.sh goes the extra mile to ensure they’re addressed in a timely and efficient manner.
