GraphOps Update January 2025

[pilar]

Summary

For Kubernetes Launchpad, we’ve made significant enhancements to the generic-app charts and released new versions of Launchpad Charts and Namespaces. Our collaboration with Pinax continues as we develop new Helm charts leveraging the common library chart.

On GraphSeer, we’ve introduced enhanced sorting functionalities and are actively working on the next release. This upcoming update will include Subgraph support, a new glossary page, and additional features aimed at continuously improving the app.

Network Operations introduced lite versions of the Analytics Subgraph without pre-calculated Delegator data for faster sync times.

Lastly, we’re excited to begin sharing updates on the GraphOps Gateway—a key workstream we’ve been dedicated to over the past few months. The GraphOps Gateway is now in its final validation stages, with every component undergoing extensive testing to ensure top-tier reliability, scalability, robust monitoring, and comprehensive disaster recovery protocols.

We invite developers and data consumers interested in accessing subgraphs from The Graph Network to become early adopters of the GraphOps Gateway by completing this form. For Indexers looking to serve paid queries from the GraphOps Gateway, we have a separate form available at this link.

Happy 2025 everyone
