Operators

Run and operate Hedera infrastructure — mirror nodes, JSON-RPC relay, and consensus nodes.

Browse by section

Every topic in the Operators tab, organized by infrastructure type.

Mirror Node

Architecture, one-click deploy, and self-hosting with GCS or S3.

JSON-RPC Relay

Setup and configuration — bridge EVM tooling to the Hedera network.

Consensus Nodes

Deployment, hardware, and network requirements.

Mirror node operators

Mirror nodes stream consensus events from the network and serve them via REST, gRPC, and Web3 APIs.

Architecture

Importer, REST API, gRPC, Web3 — how the mirror node components fit together.

Overview

One-Click Deploy

Spin up a mirror node in minutes using the official Helm chart.

HelmK8s

Run Your Own

Self-host a mirror node backed by Google Cloud Storage or AWS S3.

GCSS3

JSON-RPC relay operators

The relay translates Ethereum JSON-RPC requests into Hedera transactions and queries.

Setup

Install and run the relay — local, Docker, or container orchestrator.

Configuration

Tune chain ID, mirror node URL, networks, rate limits, and caching.

Consensus node operators

Run a network node — gossip, virtual voting, and the live state of every Hedera service.

Deployment

Step-by-step procedure for bringing a consensus node online.

Deploy

Requirements

Hardware, network, and operational requirements for running a node.
