Resources for private enterprise Ethereum development
We showed the steps to create a private Ethereum network in the previous section of this chapter for learning purposes. It’s isolated compared to Mainnet or Testnets, but not necessarily secure. More efforts are needed to protect private networks. Therefore, setting up your own private Ethereum network can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. As an alternative to running your own instance, third party APIs can be leveraged to save you some effort and time. Those third-party API providers offer nodes as a service.
We will take a look at Ethereum node services in the next subsection.
