There is no such thing as mempool on Solana; the approach is different here due to the nature of the network.
One of the core features of Solana architecture is GulfStream, the mempool-less transaction forwarding protocol. Instead of relying on a central mempool, Gulf Stream disperses transactions directly to validators. These validators cache the transactions and use them to predict which transactions will be included in the next block, allowing them to start processing transactions even before they are confirmed.
Currently, we don’t provide any free trial options on SOL. But things may change :)
You might want to follow these steps to improve transaction performance:
Note: tips don't prioritize transactions for non-Jito SOL leaders. The validator tips method is used by SOL arbitrage bots.
A dedicated Solana RPC node is a server you control entirely, hosting a complete copy of the Solana blockchain ledger. This provides significant advantages over shared nodes:
Unmatched performance: Dedicated resources guarantee the highest throughput and lowest latency for your Solana applications. Unlike shared nodes, you won't experience performance bottlenecks during peak network usage.
Enhanced security & privacy: Full control over the node ensures the highest level of security for your Solana transactions and data. You eliminate the risk of unauthorized access or manipulation present in shared node environments.
Customization: Tailor configurations to perfectly suit your Solana application's requirements. This can include optimizing validator selection, adjusting memory allocation, or implementing custom metrics for deeper network insights.

NaaS is a cloud-based service model that allows renting access to pre-configured Solana RPC nodes. This eliminates the need for in-house infrastructure management and technical expertise. It's suitable for:
Individuals or small projects with limited technical expertise or resource needs for exploring Solana development.
Businesses seeking a quick and easy entry point to leverage Solana blockchain technology without managing their own nodes. NaaS providers typically handle node maintenance, software updates, and uptime guarantees.

Solana does not provide any support for subscribing to unconfirmed (processed) transactions.
In the case of Solana, it must be a bare-metal setup only (the cost of the Solana node in the cloud will be too high due to the amount of traffic generated). All servers are ordered from bare metal providers.
You should know which of the following RPC methods/requests would be in use:
We must use these methods as their operation requires the generation of separate indexes in Solana. The indexes need memory, which leads to changes in the hardware configuration, sometimes resulting in a complete server replacement.
Shared nodes: A cost-effective option for low-resource needs like exploring the Solana network or developing basic applications. However, performance and security might be compromised due to shared resources with other users, potentially leading to slower transaction processing and higher risk of data exposure.
Dedicated nodes: Ideal for businesses and applications requiring high performance, reliability, and customization. They offer superior security and privacy for sensitive Solana transactions and data. Additionally, dedicated nodes allow for in-depth monitoring and fine-tuning to optimize your Solana network interaction.

A dedicated network, in the context of Solana, refers to a private and permissioned blockchain built on the Solana protocol. It offers several advantages:
Enhanced security & privacy: Restricted access ensures only authorized participants can interact with the network, ideal for handling confidential data or sensitive transactions.
Customizable control: Organizations have complete control over network configurations, governance rules, and validator selection, allowing them to tailor the network to their specific needs.
Dedicated resources: Guaranteed performance and resource availability for specific business needs. Unlike the public Solana mainnet, a dedicated network eliminates competition for resources, ensuring consistent transaction processing speeds.
