Open kodemartin opened 3 weeks ago

kodemartin commented 3 weeks ago

Description

The goal of this task is to review the iota-analytics-indexer crate to investigate the following questions

  1. What is its use?
  2. What metrics are collected in the application?
  3. How does it compare to the current analytics solution in iota-indexer?

The findings should be reported in a README.md file in the crate.

Quote from Sui RPC2.0 proposal

Currently, the analytics data in Sui Explorer is served by indexer. This is baked in the main flow of indexer V1. It turns out to be not great, because active addresses and popular packages are not useful for most of the people, and it becomes a burden to maintain it in the main flow. That's why you see sui-analytics-indexer, now taking the responsibility to move the data to a data warehouse/OLAP platform where such computation are much better suited.
