Inside look at the R&D lab @StoreResearch

✅ We have successfully upgraded the Store Chain test network. All 17 Raspberry Pi's have 128 GB of storage, 8GB of RAM, and two ethernet ports. Next: The network will simulate Block miners validating transactions and Cloud miners storing all blockchain data on @thestorecloud.

Next, we added NGINX with rate limits at 600 RPS to attempt to hit the server through NGINX from JMeter with the speed of 50K RPS. Results: System is stable with CPU at 65-75% usage while system load is at around 200%.

Update on DDoS stress testing for STORE Chain: For a 50K request-per-second (RPS) use case, we took a very small machine in @thestorecloud (512MB RAM + 1 Core CPU) running a simple Rust service. It can process 600 RPS without touching CPU 100% usage.

To secure STORE Chain from DDoS and spam while perpetually scaling compute and data horizontally, we'll have two forms of rate limiting: 1) Technical (being tested) 2) Economics (being researched) - Aim of technical is to test Nginix - Aim of economic is to incentivize out DDoS
