Client stories from onboarding and RPC work
Feedback from engineering teams who booked cohorts, workshops, and troubleshooting sessions—not aggregated star widgets.
Week three was where RPC clicked for me. Helena walked through our actual staging errors instead of generic slides. I still wish we had one more session on priority fees, but I left knowing how to read our provider dashboard.
Tom R. — Backend lead, fintech startup — Leeds Developer Onboarding Programme
Twelve engineers, mixed Rust experience, one day. Two mentors kept pairs moving through the devnet exercise without anyone sitting idle. The printed path poster now hangs by our stand-up board.
Amelia Chen — CTO, NFT marketplace — London Team Onboarding Day
I had websocket disconnects every twenty minutes. Priya spotted our reconnect logic reusing a dead subscription ID. The written summary let me fix it the same evening. Narrow scope, exactly what I needed.
Marcus Webb — Solo developer — Bristol RPC Troubleshooting Session
The provider comparison matrix saved us from signing a contract that capped burst traffic we routinely hit during mints. James was direct about trade-offs rather than pushing one vendor.
Sarah Oduya — DevOps engineer — Manchester RPC Fundamentals Workshop
We sent three mid-level JavaScript developers through the cohort. All deployed to devnet by week six. Homework load was heavy for one person juggling client work, so plan capacity before enrolling.
Daniel Hughes — Engineering manager — Birmingham Developer Onboarding Programme
Leeds fintech — three developers through the cohort
Tom's backend team had shipped EVM contracts but never touched Solana. They enrolled three mid-level engineers in the September 2025 cohort while preparing a loyalty points migration.
Week two focused on mapping their existing REST mental model to account subscriptions. Week five replaced a generic counter program with a simplified version of their staging instruction layout. Two engineers deployed independently by week six; the third needed an extra office hour on priority fees, which we scheduled at no additional charge.
The team now keeps the printed RPC flowchart from the workshop pinned above their deployment monitor. They still call us for quarterly troubleshooting when mainnet congestion spikes.
Manchester mint day — RPC workshop before launch
Sarah's DevOps group expected burst traffic during a public mint. We ran the half-day RPC Fundamentals Workshop two weeks before go-live, comparing their signed provider contract against actual burst limits.
They renegotiated burst headroom and configured a fallback endpoint the night before mint. Confirmation times stayed under their four-second internal target except during a twelve-minute public RPC outage, when failover kicked in automatically.
