this sounds amazing. i want to understand better what it does. how do you personally use it? why did you create it?

Farcaster data lives in Snapchain, and we need to get data out of Snapchain quickly to serve users on Uno. We do that by streaming Farcaster events to a Redis instance, and then attach Redis consumer groups to those events to finally insert into a database.

You could also remove the database processor and use Waypoint to listen for events like mentions or fetch a particular cast hash.
