Tech Discovery Outline

• FastAPI framework in python
  • Mustafa’s Reasoning for choosing FastAPI
    • APIs and codebase itself will be easy to maintain for other phases
    • The web3 dev guy that Morgan brought in suggested this framework because a lot of devs have already made some projects using Kadena in FastAPI itself
    • It's very beginner friendly and the community around FastAPI is quite big and you'll get no issues with actually solving any issues if you stumble across them
    • The added benefit of generating the API docs is automated in FastAPI and it becomes very easy for the front-end devs to get an idea of what the routes and requirements are for each endpoint
    • Deployment for FastAPI applications is also fairly straightforward as the docker commands and docker file contents are not that many
    • Major con for FastAPI is it's very very slow just like other python applications
  • FastAPI crash course for beginners: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLKKmouUams
  • An Introduction to Using FastAPI: https://refine.dev/blog/introduction-to-fast-api/
• Kadena API
  • look into Kadena documentation
  • how to be able to extract out the libraries they use to pull data from the kadena blockchain (Mustafa)
  • PACT language for kadena?
  • Kadena docs:
    • Public Chain Interaction: https://kadena-io.github.io/kadena-docs/Public-Chain-Docs
    • Interact with Nodes – View commands for querying a node to get database information such as block header and cut height: https://kadena-io.github.io/kadena-docs/rest-api-examples
    • Index & Analyze the Blockchain – Chainweb data indexer for storing blockchain data in a Postgresql database: https://github.com/kadena-io/chainweb-data
    • Kadena Chainweb Node API – https://api.chainweb.com/openapi/
    • Pact REST API – https://api.chainweb.com/openapi/pact.html
    • KadenaiConnect API Documentation (shared by Amir): ****https://ng.kadenaiconnect.com/api-docs/
• Flux
  • is the deployment platform like AWS but cheaper (Mustafa)
  • platform to host the servers on, node and data node (Amir)
• cookiecutter python library
  • use to setup a lot of boilerplate code, starter project directory, and save time (Mustafa)
• PostgreSQL
  • “chainweb-data requires Postgres”
  • “A common use case for chainweb-data is to primarily run it as a worker process to populate a Postgres database with blockchain data”
  • all data format should be in JSON
• chain reader node?
• chainweb node
  • Overview documentation for running a node: https://docs.kadena.io/contribute/node/overview
  • The complete open-source repository for Chainweb: https://github.com/kadena-io/chainweb-node
  • fresh server chainweb-node install (from Amir): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1i2VNcHg6o0LxLG4JeK58Yzetj9K5epF4RdPP6lem3Ns/edit?pli=1#gid=0
• custom index = custom data node?

Diana notes dump- TBC

• chain web node and created a custom index(custom data node)  b/c kadena out of the box does not give all the data needed
• data node connects to the chain1? chain web? node
• block streamer
• map transfer functions
