High-level summary​

The team is very excited to have relased the work on reducing the memory footprint of the Hydra node by merging #1618. This has been tested and appears to make a huge impact to long-running Hydra nodes with many transactions. We invite the community to test it more! We also made a couple of hotfixes and documentation improvements.

What did the team achieve?​

  • Merged work on reduced memory footprint for running a Hydra Node #1618
  • Progress on "side-load" of a snapshot #1858
  • Updated documentation for persistence cleaning #1899
  • Fixed a bug where the TUI wasn't getting enough history #1901
  • Allowed for etcd arguments to be passed on #1891; useful for controlling etcd more explicitly.
  • Added /snapshot/last-seen endpoint to query the latest snapshot #1886

What's next?​

  • Finish side-loading snapshots #1858
  • Tighten security options of the networking layer #1867
  • Publishing scripts with blockfrost #1668
