The Guild April 2023 Update

[saihaj]

Executive Summary

This month we finalized the migration of the graph-ts repo to graph-tooling, enabling deployment of various networks in studio, and fixing long-standing bugs. Upcoming priorities include migrating example subgraphs, improving validation of build command, and finalizing GraphQL over HTTP compliance. During our virtual offsite conversations, we discussed new features and improvements to the query and indexer experience. We are excited to work on these projects in the coming months.
