Meeting Topics

• Catch up on Indy Interop-athon - Presentation
• Getting started on a new release of indy-node
  • Schedule a meeting - to review the release contents.
  • This Thursday at 6AM Pacific, 3PM CET to discuss.  We'll use this Zoom room, Richard to invite interested parties.
• Getting started on a CI/CD migration
• Getting started on the did:indy Method
• Discussion
  • Why did the Sovrin node hard requirements get bumped to where they are today?
    • Factors: 
      • Primarily based on load testing, including load testing the Sovrin token and in particular, a token launch event.
        • This would trigger a spike in usage plus an ongoing higher load, plus a gradual load increase as payment events rise.
      • Also based on the load expected from revocation (gradual climb).
    • Any Indy Network must set the node hardware spec.
    • indy-node-monitor validator info includes usage information (CPU, disk space) and should be used for trending to predict when to increase resources
      • Clarity required on what the resources measure – e.g. overall load/disk usage on the server vs. indy-node load/disk usage.
