The main challenge as I see it is to ingest a high volume of events in real time. I’d love to see a general purpose nostr graph db relay, although I don’t think it will ever be as performant as non-graph relays for routine relay functionality.
Did you ever have any difficulties with real time data ingestion? Could you process them one at a time or did you need to batch them together at regular intervals? Or perhaps there was never a high enough volume of DVMs for this to be an issue?
