What are the alternatives to self-hosting a Walrus node?
I'm exploring options to run a Walrus node without self-hosting. The requirements seem hefty, with 52TB storage and 100GB memory. Are there any alternative approaches to handling these specifications without the need for self-hosting?
- Typescript SDK

1You can consider running a local Walrus network for testing purposes. This involves deploying a Walrus testbed on your local machine or utilizing a script available in the Walrus git code repository. Alternatively, you can utilize various SDKs provided for Walrus, such as the TypeScript SDK, to manage operations programmatically. For real deployment, you might want to look into operating or utilizing existing aggregator and publisher services which provide HTTP APIs. This option might help offload hosting burdens while still providing access to Walrus functionality.
