During the analysis, it was discovered that certain IP addresses are sending a significantly higher number of requests compared to internal Decimalchain clients (Explorer and Console). These requests mainly focus on transaction and rewards data, causing a heavy load on the blockchain servers and resulting in delays in data processing and transmission.
Efforts are underway to enhance the performance and dependability of Decimal services:
1. Infrastructure Scaling: Additional resources have been allocated to backend servers to accommodate more requests. Automated scaling mechanisms have been set up to promptly adapt to fluctuations in load.
2. Disabling Support for Outdated Requests: New microservices, namely Transaction and Reward, are now operational on the prod environment, providing users with up-to-date data. Although the old API is still accessible, it is no longer updated since the launch of the new microservices. Decimal is gradually transitioning to microservices responsible for managing data for specific categories like Transaction and Reward. These services have been operating efficiently in the prod environment for an extended period, and users are urged to switch to the new API, as a significant number of users are still reliant on the outdated version.
Effective from Monday (03.06.24), accessing transaction data and rewards via the old API will be discontinued.
- New API (Transaction)
- New API (Rewards) It is strongly advised to migrate to the new API ahead of time.
3. Monitoring and Logging: Decimal services have integrated monitoring systems (Grafana) for real-time performance and system health monitoring. Centralized logging through the ELK Stack facilitates swift analysis and issue identification. Further refinements to these systems are in progress to minimize response time to emerging incidents.
These imminent actions are anticipated to greatly enhance Decimal services' performance and reduce latency. Continuous efforts are being made to optimize and scale the infrastructure to ensure consistent performance and superior service levels for all users.
