lately, i’ve been quietly working on data infra for dealing with flaky data sources (like Farcaster data and blockchain data…this isn’t a dig at Farcaster by any means; it’s just the nature of consensus-based protocols in general) this stuff is non-trivial to get right because intermittent and complete failures of data providers are guaranteed, especially in times of massive usage and network congestion we are and will continue experiencing robust data access patterns and thorough fallback strategies are absolutely essential to have any chance of creating reliable systems in these sorts of environments, especially if your goal is to minimize latencies
