Backend work preview from April 19, 2025
The backend is under maintaining…
Database:
- Updating the database schema based on usage experience. This will increase the performance of analytical queries and optimize the size of data storage on disk.
- More information that we collect. This will allow us to do interesting analytics.
- Caching and query aggregation. To reduce the response time and reduce the load on the database.
Infrastructure:
- Configure CI/CD using sourcecraft.
- Increase the fault tolerance of the data collection system by transferring fetcher from VPS to the cloud with repeated startup attempts.
In general:
We are switching to using the blockchain API instead of the nymapi. This will allow us to increase the fault tolerance of the system and expand the amount of information that we can analyze.
As you may have noticed, we are actively updating the main go-nym library, which we use in the project to collect data.
