GraphOps Update March 2024

:astronaut: Executive Summary

The GraphOps team is excited to share updates across our work this month.

In Subgraph Radio, we are proud to introduce version 1.0.1, addressing the memory leak issue and updating the Graphcast SDK dependency. This version also brings two new queries to our GraphQL API.

For Graphcast SDK, we’ve reached version 0.7.0, which updates the Waku bindings, ensuring more robust and reliable messaging capabilities.

In the Launchpad domain, we’ve executed chart updates across a broad spectrum of components. We also realeased new fixes, and simplified the Proxyd configuration for better usability. Moreover, we’ve hosted LOH #12 and #13, focusing on observability and HA.

Within Indexer Components, our team has been working on File Hosting Service to offer a robust indexer-service GraphQL API, as well as a downloader with automatic escrow deposit capabilities.

For Network Operations, we’ve launched the latest versions of various network Subgraphs, introducing new features such as allocationCount and activeAllocationCount alongside pruning settings for optimized performance and reliability.

Lastly, we are proud to introduce GraphSeer updates in our monthly report to share the progress we are making in our new Graph explorer that will be publicly launched this month!

Happy March everyone :sparkles:
