    cool um welcome everyone to another community meeting this month with data platform uh we are going to be talking about enhanced apis alerts chain analytics near lake and our pc as a service uh give updates and then i think we have some more agendas i kind of got a packed uh hour today so uh yeah without any further ado i think uh tiffany are you gonna be sharing some slides are you gonna be leading this awesome cool uh thank you very much and yeah if you have

  2. 0:43

    any questions please post them in the chat below or in the q and a section uh at the bottom of your screen um but yeah go go ahead uh take it away take it away tiffany and as you can know it's it's hat day today at near so okay cool awesome uh so for this week um we have a lot packed uh we'll start with our very new product enhanced api suites and we're looking to have a much more

  3. 1:14

    more powerful offering um in this product too and um this is you know we're very excited about this so really looking forward to release the public and get as much feedback as we can and help all of you guys easy as easy as possible in terms of getting the data that's the first set item second item will be alerts finally alerts is going to be almost live and show it to public but uh this week after um you know long and very

  4. 1:44

    very awesome work from our team uh we're ready to demo it to the public and really let you guys know and see what we're offering you guys and get pumped and get excited and um yeah so that's the second item third item we have our pc stats page um ready uh it's not not ready yet but the wireframe almost wireframe is ready so we want to show it and let you guys know that we're preparing for it um we're very likely to

  5. 2:10

    erase it out roll it out and so for the first time you will be able to get your rpc data and you understand your rpc usage so looking forward to that and the next one is analytics feature on console i'm not sure if you guys logged in already into console or starting live but just taking this opportunity to show you that we have this awesome feature available for you to get your contracts data analytics everything happen with your contract and

  6. 2:34

    can help you get a lot of helpful information like your user information and uh hopefully they can give you better ways to make your decisions in in your operations and last but not least we have leg session on console so for anyone who are not aware of lake here's a great entry point for you and console to know what it is to use the tool um and to understand how it can benefit you

  7. 2:58

    so without further ado i'll move it to our first item in his apis yeah so speaking about your enhanced cpi we definitely received a lot of questions like why should it actually be so complicated to you account balances or ft nft lists um history of that and why should i use indexer or rpc and when should you use it so there is definitely no need to hit your head around and instead you can

  8. 3:38

    just use the enhanced api as the one offering so and i'd like to pass it to orla to talk about the specifics and hopefully we'll have some live demo yeah hey uh yeah so uh i want to start from uh memology so as you all know uh we have bogdan in the team uh our absolute expert in entomology and i'm always trying to to learn something to be as great as him yeah so uh as i knew uh this week this meme is known only on post-soviet countries

  9. 4:26

    so uh this is the guy who wait for something and uh all of you i i hope so you were waiting for our enhanced uh api yeah so let's go uh next slide please yeah so i want to say you asked we delivered but we haven't delivered it yet uh let's go further yeah so what is it so this is a rest api uh we decided uh to to concentrate at first uh on the balance side uh we can go further

  10. 5:09

    actually i can uh don't worry i i will just continue do that uh so yeah we have many different endpoints uh most of them uh covered some information about the balances so we decided to start from native balance fts maybe multi-tokens we are thinking about that of course some information about nfts so hopefully next slide random wallet developer or the developer of application should be really happy about that next

  11. 5:51

    slide so i really hope you will be happy about this yeah so uh we have uh we will send you a link to our repository so it's open source and you can uh create any issues you want please share any feedback with with us and i want to share some technical details with you so we use open api specifications so what it means to you so you will have all the perks from uh from our implementation that you

  12. 6:27

    actually could so you have all all the beautiful documentation you have typed responses uh you have anything you want from from the rest api exactly um yeah about technical details uh so we are using our indexer database uh i hope you are familiar with that we also use rpc to to get all the data that we want to serve combine it and serve in the best way that we could uh yeah uh we will add some new uh i don't know it's fast um we will add some new tables to to our

  13. 7:13

    database to serve all the data we want uh so as you already seen version one is all about balances and we have some things that we want to support later we will ask you about that let's go further yeah let's try our live demo um but second it's too hard this is only only one big green button and i can't find it yeah um so let's go through some of the endpoints just to test it and see how it

  14. 7:55

    goes so as you can see uh yeah we have many different information here we can send the request from for a random user um yeah it's so it uh he or she so they have uh some uh balance some native balance also they have some uh tokens so this is so this is ft contract uh with the metadata and so on and so forth yeah we also can uh try to ask so um for example about history uh so for that we need to copy the contract name

  15. 8:45

    let's try to take it here let's try to find some history cool so yeah we have some information about deltas and actions that were done with this account by this fungible token contract uh cool we also can ask for some nft information uh we can find yeah so this guy uh has uh one nft uh at boras so yeah so this is a heavy underdevelopment and we are still working on on the types on the pagination stuff

  16. 9:41

    on the all the structures but you can have like a good overview of what we are doing and if you have any thoughts about that please share um yeah and so this is all from my side yeah so let me just uh bring a little bit uh more um highlight on on the on this api so as i mentioned we actually follow the open api spec and this is why you can actually have the nice playground and we'll integrate it even further and extend it with more examples

  17. 10:28

    in the same ui you can also have the snippets of the code uh that you can just copy paste and run uh in a number of languages out there uh and also in curl hdpi python and and stuff yeah thanks olaf for sharing the link in the chat uh and you um um yeah and one one crucial thing is this is actually as simple as as it looks like and it should be it's this way so i hope uh everybody really love it and let us

  18. 11:09

    know what's i what are you uh hoping for the next steps here uh will we launch the poll now or will we launch it later okay sorry uh i think we can we have questions that are about everything so maybe a little bit later yeah yeah then without further ado let's jump on to the alerts and the dev console uh integration of alerts yeah it's my turn hey everyone uh i'll start with the trick

  19. 11:49

    oh much better thanks uh i'm gonna share my screen and try to perform some demo of alerts i hope you can see it well at least i can see it well so we're looking at the alerts module in the dev console and we're gonna gonna create a new alert uh i wanna mention that i have connected a telegram bot uh as like a destination option to get the notification through uh so in the nice fancy form we can put

  20. 12:30

    the account i'm working with the testnet but main net is also available and which is a condition currently we're working on all like to cover all of these possible conditions and extended with the more but currently fully functioning is any successful transaction related to the account or contract address we put in in the first point uh or only failed transaction we will go with the successful ones

  21. 13:01

    i'm enabling the telegram destination and just i want to show you that uh email sms uh is gonna be here soon i don't know why telegram is soon because it's already working and we are like we have implemented the vape destination so you can like name it like anything and put your own url and just like ready to get the answers just for an example sorry my bad uh once we create a webhook destination uh the dev console will say

  22. 13:44

    that we're gonna authorized uh all our requests were this beer token we generate for you so uh you can catch it on your site to be sure that it was uh dev console who is sending you messages to your web book but uh we're not gonna go with the web hook only with the telegram right now uh here on the screen i hope you can see it you can see my telegram i have connected deaf console bot with this nice pretty logo so let's

  23. 14:16

    do it create alert yep alert is created we can check all the settings here and let's uh trigger some events for example transfer on the test net i'm sending some tokens from another account to the account i'm watching for yep and it is sent don't pay attention to the repetitive message about something have triggered your event because it's all under avid development uh so here you can see that uh bot telegram bot has sent you about the

  24. 15:15

    name of your triggered alert we can see right here uh and it built for us a link to explorer i just copy it from here be sure it is opening in the proper browser this link points us to the transaction where the event actually happened and to the specific receipt but like it's not many overseas here so we can see both of them yeah it's pretty nice working demo i'm getting even more transactions i believe someone is

  25. 15:54

    sending something to me thank you i really regret that it's not main net account right now in the moment uh okay and let's uh look over here uh like it's not something you're gonna see during the usage of alerts feature on the dev console uh it is an indexer built on top of near lake uh which is actually serving all the stuff we call it internally alert exterior as you can see and here we can

  26. 16:25

    see all those triggered events uh that was sent were sent to the telegram through all this complex stuff and i'm like right here i'm stop sharing asked if i need to resume the presentation with my second slide yeah i'm spammed by the way in the telegram uh okay uh here is like a little bit internals i want to talk about the architecture behind the alerts feature because what i was showing you it was a demo of

  27. 17:06

    the user interface uh which has been built by a dev console team uh we're fortunately not doing a front-end at least for now uh all we did uh it was uh the back end or like using uh with the heavier rust usage so i want to represent our architecture as like rust as a plant keeping the earth and stuff so everything is working uh thanks to alertix error behind the scenes uh yeah uh we actually use uh

  28. 17:44

    near lake framework for that and uh really happy actually to uh use the stuff we have built uh we use it also that's why we encourage all of you to use near lake instead of near indexer framework because it's much cheaper and it's more smoothly uh like it works more smoothly so please uh reach us out if you want to build your own indexer and that was like an example what you can build with an indexer

  29. 18:17

    by the way yeah so i guess i'm done i'm ready for questions uh if there any yeah i see i don't have any questions so we can continue and then answer questions later what do you think sounds like a good idea awesome thanks so much yeah let's uh tiffany do you you have other updates so uh do you think we we should answer the the question right now and have a pause or do do we keep going yeah i think we can answer some questions about the major products we have and

  30. 18:56

    you know and before before going to other ones so any questions right now yeah josh may i ask you to to read the questions uh yeah absolutely yeah yeah no problem no problem um yeah one individual just asked about i i believe they're referring to the api um the restful api that we created and they just want to know if there's a rate limit or should you should we be using it lightly for now uh is that available for them to use or is that like a temporary

  31. 19:26

    yeah so it's it's there for very early preview so we can share with community in terms of like trying it out maybe just uh providing early feedback but it's definitely not ready for any production use or advertisement as a product primary release will integrate it into dev console and at that point once it's launched with dev console that will be the official release date and we plan to have it

  32. 20:05

    quite soon uh there are now specific dates at the moment that we can share uh but stay tuned to we are we believe that it's quite uh close uh and we'll definitely show how the integration could look like in the console of other services during our next uh updates the definitive brain awesome cool yeah jack also just mentioned that yeah like daily balances are really hard to get uh um especially

  33. 20:36

    for evm chains but so useful for analytics um yeah i know this is gonna be super helpful um for a lot of folks uh in office hours that we get daily people oftentimes it's rpc endpoints which endpoints can i use to query accounts and give me information about it and then we have to go okay well i actually gotta go into indexing and then yeah it's it's it's a common thing that we that we um talk about and yeah to have something that's very familiar to especially web2dubs to have

  34. 21:00

    this like restful api where they can easily you know send get requests and post requests are there posts is it just right now just querying data will there be like um like post requests where you can actually modify blockchain data using this api uh advanced api feature there are no no touch plans just yet because there are plenty of laughing fruits in terms of like getting the data first and later on yeah we'll explore the space of

  35. 21:31

    how we can simplify and address the problem of submitting transactions through api because uh it's a bit more complicated and involves key management and and signing the introduction so it might not be as simple as just rest api that's why we we're not uh yet exploring the space cool awesome of course cool um someone just says uh disease and enhance api allow requests similar to uh near cli view state um i would i would imagine yes it's it's

  36. 22:12

    it's similar like um in that uh in cli under the hood it's using uh near api js which is making rpc uh calls that's just viewing state um and you're just kind of pretty much using the same thing you're using rpc endpoints to or are you using are no you're not you're not using our pc endpoints you're using the indexer you do both both okay uh the the questions people would have before like whether i should use indexer or should i use indexed database

  37. 22:44

    or should i use rpc and usually the answers would be like you would need to use both so instead what we actually offer right now instead of you needing to worry about all those different sorts of data we actually combine it together in a best meaningful way um and yeah you as like i'm trying i'm still trying to understand how um like whether the question the original question was about like the very specific type of response

  38. 23:18

    um shape and structure or it was just about the general um approach but the apis that we provide right now they are similar to what the json rpc reply is but we actually restructured for a better um alignment with fungible tokens and also to provide more meaningful information in one reply so you have all the necessary metadata cool so yeah we sometimes we add some information from

  39. 23:56

    the database that we can share if it's useful in the context sometimes we omit some fields if we think that so for example if you want uh detailed metadata you can ask about this but in general uh our guess is that you need just some kills from it and that's why we simplify the interface a bit so yeah cool awesome thank you thanks so much for the clarification and context um yeah and hopefully that answered um some of your questions if not or if you

  40. 24:30

    have follow-up questions please feel free to drop them in chat or the q a button at the bottom of your screen but yeah it looks like that was all the questions i had so far um yeah if you'd like to proceed you can and then uh yeah again keep keep posting away questions if you guys have them sounds good yep okay moving on is the rpc stash page wireframe i put almost because you will see what i mean by almost

  41. 25:02

    it's not really a wireframe as much but um yeah so uh i will also share this link in the chat so we also have it it's it is actually a public link so it is available for everyone to see um and to comment if you guys want to so i'll post this in the chat where is that okay i don't know where the chat is here cool um so going over the call barely a wireframe because it just it's basically

  42. 25:39

    i'm not a designer i'm just using ways to try to visualize what i meant by having the stats page ready um most like so high level there will be a couple of very important metrics which are the total volume of your rpc request or request success rates of your rpc request and number of invalid requests and last but not least the latency on the top of that and those from our brief user research are the most important data that we see developers

  43. 26:11

    care about just by a glance they want to understand you know how many of my requests are passing through what are the problem with my request or overall how fast are the responses um following after that is the time series of the total request volume uh chart so you can see all of your requests by time and you are able to sort of get an understanding of either how many requests you're making or you know if you're not using bots or

  44. 26:38

    any it's based on your implementation sometimes from this we hope to give you an understanding of how active is your dab or is your contract at a certain amount of time um so that's the second chart third one is the method breakdown of your rpc request so for our rpc request you all have a lot of different methods that you're using and hopefully this will give you an understanding of how many of each star you're using and if you want to do optimization or you know any any things that you want to

  45. 27:09

    get from this hopefully this can yell some helpful insight next one is the request status so under similar to what i mentioned above understanding how many of your requests has passed hopefully with a good rpc service that will provide all of this should be success right um so it should be expecting a very huge grain high instead of a huge instead of a breakdown of all of all the rest

  46. 27:33

    next one will be a list of requests status and errors so in this list we hope to just ignore what's actually here um in this list we hope to give you a list of all the requests you made including all the status and the arrows that you can potentially click on click in and understand why is this failed why it's not running as you wish this is very this hopefully at the end of the day will be helpful in debugging and in maintaining stability all the efforts around making rpc requests

  47. 28:05

    and going after um is the geographic distribution so we're actually able to uh grab the geographic distribution or geographic information of where the rpc requests are coming from also depending on implementation but most most likely most of the dabs or contracts or projects out there are able to utilize this to understand where are the rpc requests are getting made meaning where

  48. 28:30

    are your users are coming from right so um we'll provide you with a map that shows uh the overall distribution and we'll also provide you with a short list of the top countries that you should you know really focus on and taken care of in terms of your overall users uh that's that's it for the first mvp phase of the stats page we're still passing it through the design phase so it's not definitely not going to look like this but uh as a wireframe it just

  49. 29:00

    shows you what we want to provide and this is really this is something that i really want to get feedbacks from all you guys on is this helpful enough it is you are we missing something that you guys are interested in um and um and yeah and hopefully once we really release this it's going to be put in use and um and you guys will be able to you know fully utilize this so that is that um

  50. 29:31

    the rpc stats page um like i mentioned there are two questions that we want to ask is what are the metrics do you need and does the current visualization make sense so really looking forward for that answer um even though it's not in this call we can also have it um at the offline when we share it to the public but overall yeah this is really helpful feedback if anyone can be sharing any of

  51. 29:56

    their feedbacks so cool moving on to the next one we have analytics on console and i will share my screen by having this ready for now so i'm not sure if all of you guys are familiar with the console um i hope sorry if not i can just log out and re-log in again but for the sake of this particular demo then console team will be able to double the actual onboarding flow but for the sake of this demo we'll

  52. 30:30

    go through the analytics page so in order usually in order to add contracts into analytics page you need to have contracts in contracts page first and uh i have actually already added the near crowd contracts here um and what it will do is it will automatically just fetch that contract you you add it in your contracts page and it will show an analytics page we're still working on making it actually color matching right

  53. 30:55

    now so so this is actually a service that's created by the wamby team and they have created this service for us that we're embedding into console um so thanks to wambi team but as a result we're still working on the color schema and design to make it more aligned and it's coming it's in place but uh yeah so just to go ahead and really you know show you guys uh what is the analytics page is having here um you have a date filter that you can ultimately filter any time

  54. 31:26

    after or before previous we have a lot of options here so you can really define the time that you wanna you care about and you wanna look through um and we have contract tab that you can add actually multiple contracts so this works really well if you have a lot of um subcontracts uh within your contract right so you have a lot of sub-accounts you want to see as a whole then you can

  55. 31:50

    actually you know use the filter here to see like all your contract and all of that information um so from this we have a couple of high-level data the total number of transactions total volumes uh liquid balances of your account uh total users which is you know very very unique and very helpful from my previous experiences and user medium lifetime so how much how much time is your user currently spending on your dabs right and the total gas spent something you

  56. 32:23

    care about in terms of the cost and further going further we have daily transactions and user count so it's a daily breakdown of your transactions and your users and it will have user retention which we actually did some calculations in terms of the amount the num the monthly number of your new users use a retention rate so we actually took that data did a lot of calculation and give you that retention rate that you will care about

  57. 32:48

    of how many people are actually using your d app moving along is the active user so monthly active user weekly active user and daily active user we also have a calculation ratio for you so similar to any of your web 2 experience or the most important marketing data usually will give you this number which will very helpfully uh inform you on how active is your user um how you know the the the actual overall health of your user engagement of your d app and moving along is the volume and

  58. 33:21

    balances so how much volume are transacted in your dapp um how much your balances are and what are the total top users by total of all the transactions so who are the users that spend the most money in your dap right that's should be something that's you know it's very important for you and if you want to target these users for your eardrop events campaigns or any specific marketing campaigns this is where you can look for them

  59. 33:45

    and last but not least is the gas price the total amount of spending and the daily amount spent um and that said for the analytics screen and last but not least on this you will also be able to see an indexer tab which is the like section on console yay and we have carefully designed this page and has the little pagoda slashed uh boat here and a little lake seems like it should be uh clear uh if

  60. 34:16

    not please share your feedback on uh it doesn't look like a lake it is hideous we'll change it but overall yeah we um we concluded four major reasons that you should use like we think it is productive it is resilient and you have immediate access to all the full stories histories of uh the new blockchain and is very familiar we are providing you with as much of the languages that you can use to easily create your indexer and more to come and we also added the

  61. 34:48

    most helpful very jump start uh examples here in tutorials so you can have you know you can look at the printer account watcher and if you are already a little bit advanced go to the nfd index or one that blocked in his demo last time so that's all the demo i have in terms of the um the things that i have demo here a couple of things there are multiple things and i think it's the time that we

  62. 35:19

    launch the polls awesome thanks so much tiffany and i beat all of you in the head game the pol the poll blocked you on my screen so i couldn't see i can't see oh so great so good cool yeah for everyone uh watching after the fact we just lost a poll uh we'll be dropping a link to that in the bottom of your screen and actually yeah under the description uh there will be a link to probably like a google form that you can

  63. 36:03

    fill out uh yeah we're just kind of getting a little bit of feedback on what was presented today whether or not you would be you'd find these things useful and what exactly you would find useful and feedback as well i imagine yeah there also be areas in which people can provide feedback i know in the beginning we talked about the rest api and like a link to the repo where people could probably have discussions in there or you know make suggestions

  64. 36:35

    submit issues but for some of these other um things that we presented today is there where's the best place for people to get in touch with you uh and uh leave feedback on these products yep so uh i think as always we have this we have the screen of all the feedbacks that uh the you know usually uh we would like to just uh direct people to stag overflow but we also have all these free posts here that you can actually interact and talk to us about um and i'll also create a google form that will

  65. 37:11

    include the information on the on the polls um and we'll likely add more information on you know we will have my calendar link uh you know like any we will have the we have to do a weekly updates that's blocked and uh help crafting every week so that's also a great place to follow what's come next and interact with us share feedbacks there um you know comment anything there so that is also a great place for us to um and also it's a good place to keep track on all the teams uh work because i think all the

  66. 37:43

    teams also uh share feedbacks there oh so sorry share updates there too cool awesome awesome yeah uh for the polls yeah i don't i don't think i need to clarify but uh i added a payment method question um i'm not sure if people are aware but um one day in the future we will start uh you know charging a little bit of our products and this is a quick question on understanding what what you guys prefer in terms of the payment method and we

  67. 38:15

    really hope to at least provide that as easy as possible if you know usn or near or any other stable coins uh works the best for for all our community members that's that question that's where that question is coming from not not that you guys need to pay us for uh for this show cool well yeah if anybody has any questions or comments please feel free to again drop them in the chat or in the q and a button at the bottom

  68. 38:46

    of your screen um we'll give a few moments for anybody to ask um ask any but um is there anything else uh to present or is that the the uh does that conclude the presentation for for today yeah so i actually have another board that's about the data product landscape um but it is very much a brainstorming mirror board as you can see it's very messy um but overall what we want to get from this is as we are offering more and more you know products um we just

  69. 39:20

    introduced enhanced api and uh for the beginning i also mentioned you know there are confusions around where should i go with xyz right do i do i go rpc do i go index or do i go you know somewhere else so we hope to really think about the data usage and data information curry needs and all of those in one setting um so and so this is this is a board that we use to to brainstorm ourselves um but we also hope to you know go through this with all of you guys um to share what

  70. 39:54

    we're thinking and uh either you know synchronous hero or asynchronous you know when we publish to youtube or having discussion with the lovely deferral team on on more on this is um is that we really want to understand how people are currently using all of these products and how people are currently thinking about using this product or you know what they're thinking of or what you know when they're making decisions on where

  71. 40:18

    to get information where to get data why are they making that information why aren't they making that choice um so overall i'll go through each by each which i think we we all know what it is um but just for the sake of you know sharing or making this brainstorm easier um for everyone who's watching um we have the whole lake system over here which boston did a demo before which is very awesome uh lake itself is the you know the data pool where the

    data lake recurring forum is a huge data machine and the framework is what we're you know creating to help people easily use um the lake powerful machine and from our our brainstorm we're thinking it is very you know it is it is a very powerful tool that really gives a lot of flexibility and uh it should be also familiar and easy to use um with our you know with our with our work on having multiple

  73. 41:19

    language offering and a lot of different tutorials and examples offered and going after there is the enhanced api we just announced so we really hope to lower the barrier of entry um for people to get the data on top of our blockchain by offering this by offering this api and it's the rest api so it's very standardized um you know like although just mentioned we're using open api so there a lot of you know a lot of great benefit you can get from that um and we really want to

  74. 41:50

    understand you know who are the people who mainly want to use this and uh where are the cases where you guys think uh it is most helpful in your day-to-day development to use to utilize this and what is the combination right you may not only use one of this you may also use it you know pick and choose you may also use like in addition to api and we're wondering you know how how is that you know why why are you making such

  75. 42:14

    choices and what drives you make those choices and the next one is warehouse so we're calling in indexer explorer which is the name that everyone is more familiar with the postgres database um we're changing the name to warehouse because it is just you know it's more generic and it describes what it actually is um and um we're we're also wondering so right now we're offering that as

  76. 42:38

    only public access to a lot of uh people out there to the community we're also offering that one-on-one to a lot of our partners and we're really curious to know who other people who are using who are using this indexer for explorer the warehouse database we offer what are the major needs there what are the careers that you guys are using most likely and most often and why is this a better choice than you know than lake

  77. 43:04

    comparatively to your specific needs and moving on we have alerts which would just announced and this should not be adding a confusion into this mix because we're thinking that it should be mostly around monitoring and we just wanted to also validate this with you guys on making sure that this is why we want uh why you guys are interested and wanted to use alerts and if that is the case um are we doing a good enough job in terms of helping you monitor your your the app's performance

  78. 43:37

    and last but not least we have the archival rpc and regular rpc so this team um also we're thinking about providing a unified data or query information feed that you know that really should not bother you the users on choosing am i using rpc am i using the archival rpc am i using the indexer so we hope to really you know really figure out a way to really ease that burden on you so what you only need to care about is i want to get an information

  79. 44:08

    this is the place i can go to it's either link it's either api and then i use the regular rpc in my day-to-day interaction with the blockchain um so this is the goal that we're aiming at we're thinking about ways that we can actually optimize archive rpc and provide that um information to you without you know without the need of choosing and uh you know asking uh where where should i use what should i use why should i use xyz so this is the overall landscape that

  80. 44:38

    we're thinking and we welcome any feedbacks ideas and um you know just tell us why you're using what you're using tell us the combination that you are using right now the problem that you're facing when you're onboarding and um you know and the problem you're facing in any of your experience cool thanks thanks so much um this landscape and yeah i i i hope it makes certain sense uh to

  81. 45:09

    to people and i i like to highlight that basically they are the very different type of offerings for different needs for different audiences so if you're a data scientist you would probably go with data warehouse and just interact with and build your machine learning products and analyze the data this that sits in the history of the blockchain um if you are the app developer you would probably be more interested in either

  82. 45:42

    data api if you are building mostly front end or if you you're building something more advanced then you know lake would be your uh probably choice and monitoring is a boring thing i i definitely don't recommend going there any anybody uh in terms of like implementing yourself so i think we we should take care of uh this uh part for you guys and uh hopefully my intern will be just a brief for you and you just click a

  83. 46:14

    button and you're all set so that's basically uh sum it up uh version of this landscape uh sorry josh i uh i interrupted you no no no no that's that's perfect no i was just gonna um the only thing i was gonna ask is uh is there a link to this miro board um that individuals can take a look at is this like an interactive thing do you want individuals to make comments or or engage with uh you on this board yeah i will i will create a public picture of all boards um so that yeah

  84. 46:50

    so throw sticky notes as we do cool sounds good well i don't see any uh further questions uh but yeah thank you thank you so much uh again uh i really appreciate yeah no this is all really awesome stuff um yeah lots of unpacking lots to think about um but yeah uh yeah really awesome seeing the progress that's being made uh with the rest api server and then yeah all the dev console uh features that are that are getting uh implemented yeah and

  85. 47:22

    i'm really i'm really stoked for the next couple months and uh yeah and near con i think it's kind of going to be like a launch for for probably all these uh products and services as far as like a time frame but we shall see um yeah definitely it will be a lot of uh new stuff to talk about during neocon so i'm not sure uh josh are you making more and more like announcements about when the airport is getting uh went well i mean the near near con is is announced isn't it it's like

  86. 47:55

    officially but i you know it doesn't i think it's worth to mention the retreat over in oregon yeah absolutely near org check it out come to portugal hang out with the these uh fabulous people on this call and other community calls meet us in real life uh september 11th through the 14th in lisbon uh near khan.org um check it out apply to to hack sign up um there will be side events all sorts of fun stuff so yeah no i'm looking

  87. 48:27

    forward to seeing all of you guys cool thank you thank you so much uh appreciate it um have yourself a great rest of your day oh and next week we will be off um we're having a near-wide uh wellness week for everyone to take vacation off and rest and recuperate and not focus on work hopefully you'll walk away from your computer screens and not uh worry about pushing code or working on planning all these new features but yeah so we

  88. 48:59

    won't have a community meeting next week but we'll have two community meetings the following week and i will be sending emails out uh as a reminders um and uh make an update uh for for next week's meeting but uh cool until next time chat with you guys later thanks again and um yeah we'll see we'll see you in a couple weeks yeah see ya thank you everybody see you bye
