Strengths

  • Enhanced APIs (NFT, Token, Transact, Notify) reduce backend code.
  • Dashboards and request logs make debugging production traffic easy.
  • Strong reliability track record on Ethereum and Layer 2s.

Considerations

  • Compute Units pricing rewards careful query design — naive eth_getLogs calls can burn budget fast.
  • Enhanced APIs lock you into Alchemy specific endpoints; abstract them if you want portability.
