Algorand Indexer 2.16.0-pre2

on GitHub

Highlights

This is a preview release of (1) Conduit, the new modular plugin system for accessing data from the chain and (2) a version of the Indexer that uses Conduit.

Conduit is composed of importer, processor, and exporter plugins. This preview introduces the framework and includes some initial plugins created by Algorand (#1326). Please see the blog post for more information.

• Conduit is backwards compatible with the preexisting Indexer service, and current Indexer runners should see no impact
• We are publishing this release as a preview to best ensure current Indexer runners have time to review the new system, test it, and later adopt it with little to no impact
• We are asking the community to preview Conduit, experiment with the plugins, and try creating their own
• We are seeking feedback related to bugs, usability, features, and documentation (to do so, join the newly created Discord channel #conduit-preview, which will stay open for a few weeks)

NOTE: this is a preview release and is subject to change so experiment but this is not yet ready for production. We will communicate when we are closer to the release date.
