:woman_astronaut: Summary

GraphOps is excited to share our progress this month!

For Kubernetes Launchpad, we have enhanced erigon and nimbus charts with support for dynamic components, released new versions for core dependencies, and progressed the development of a common library chart in collaboration with Pinax.

GraphSeer.com has seen an enhanced Subgraph Deployment profile page, new tabs and fields, refined sorting, and UX/UI improvements. We have also increased data refresh intervals for better performance.

Lastly, our team also shipped Subgraph Radio’s release v1.0.7, which includes updates to the Graphcast SDK and adds support for Base network.

Happy December everyone! Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season :sparkles:
