This is a fantastic update...my head feels like it's exploding trying to process all of this and imagining all of the possibilities that will soon be available on the Steem platform!
Once appbase and rocksDB are at a good point (which it sounds like they might already be at?) I would love to see a post or guide about the best way to set up a full RPC node/cluster using these new technologies and what type of hardware requirements are necessary.
I think it's a big problem right now that there are so few full RPC nodes available and it's getting prohibitively expensive and time consuming to set up new ones. Obviously these changes are aimed at changing that (which is awesome!), and I think it would also be good to have a clear guide on how to set a full RPC node up, what the various options are, etc.
Probably a good thing for the developer portal I guess (which I also love btw!)
Anyway, I could not be more excited about all of this and the future of the Steem blockchain. Keep up the great work!
