node-gateway makes it easier to run reliable and accurate node infrastructure
for dApp developers, traders, and stakers.

## Example use cases
- Run your own nodes instead of paying for node providers. For very high availability, fall back on node providers in case your own nodes are unavailable. In our benchmarks, a single on-demand im4gn.4xlarge AWS EC2 machine that costs ~$1050 can serve over 1000 requests / second. This is > 10x cheaper than the well known node providers.
- Use a primary node provider and fall back on another node provider for even higher availability. The well known node providers tout 99.9% uptime (> 8 hours of downtime a year) but often have degraded performance even if they're "up".
