GraphOps Update May 2024

Research & Development Core Team Updates
1

:astronaut: Executive Summary

The GraphOps team is proud to report this month’s achievements across our workstreams.

Subgraph Radio releases 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 improved dashboard views, resolved a critical bug for Indexers indexing many hundreds of subgraphs, and enhanced overall stability.

GraphSeer development focused on updating dependencies, streamlining code for faster compile times, and initial backend work to introduce comparative analytics for Indexers.

For Launchpad, we’ve hosted LOH #15 covering High Availability in PostgreSQL and LOH #16 covering Helm Charts live development. Our team also revamped the documentation with a comprehensive PostgreSQL HA guide, and streamlined navigation for better accessibility.

On File Data Service, we conducted a Core Dev workshop to gather early feedback. We also expanded functionality for individual files and directories, implemented robust admin queries, and improved its documentation.

Finally, regarding Network Operations, we deployed chain aliasing support and released important Subgraphs across hosted service and decentralized network, along with the publication of the GRC-0002: QoS Oracle V2.

Happy May everyone :sparkles:
