For production deployments, developers integrating with Pyth Network are **strongly encouraged** to use Node Providers
for maximum resilience and decentralization. Moreover, Hermes is designed to be self-hosted, so developers can run their own
instance of Hermes to fetch Pyth price updates.

The Pyth Data Association provides a Helm chart for running Hermes in
[charts](https://github.com/pyth-network/charts/tree/main/charts/hermes) repository. Please refer to the chart's readme
for the configuration values.
You will need a Pythnet RPC to run Hermes; see the [guide for accessing a Pythnet RPC](pythnet-rpc).

You will need a Pythnet RPC to run Hermes, which you can obtain from any of the Pythnet RPC
Some Pyth workflows require access to a Pythnet RPC. You can obtain access from any of the Pythnet RPC
providers below:

- [Triton](https://triton.one)
- [P2P](https://p2p.org)
- [Blockdaemon](https://blockdaemon.com/)

Alternatively, you can host Pythnet RPC yourself, but this is discouraged due to the potential high cost and maintenance
involved in operating it. If you still wish to run it, please contact the Pyth team for more information.
