[Bedrock/IPNI] [Indexer Scalability solution deployed]

[TorfinnOlsen]

eta: 2023-03-31 Description: Improve the scalability of a single indexer instance to enable an index to grow past the size of a single physical node. This milestone is part of the [Bedrock/IPNI] Roadmap (link to root issue).

Objectives:

• [Improve the scalability of a single indexer instance to enable an index to grow past the size of a single physical node.]

Key Deliverables:

• [Deploy an Assigner Service and the capability to freeze overflowed nodes and deploy it on our own local instance and validate it. cid.contact is running the scalability service.]
• [Get 3/6 of our partners running indexer instances to upgrade and test the scalability solution on their indexers.]

Note: This milestone is subject to change as priorities and circumstances evolve.

Assigner service is deployed and functioning as intended!

We are still dependent on partner feedback for evidence that versions include the assigner service and are in use. We will be directly initiating support and monitoring tools in Q2 which preemptively support updating Index Operator deployments to include the new support tools we've developed that most instances have not gotten big enough yet to need.
