Improving dashboard with API usage monitor

· One min read

Software Engineer

Many of our customers asked us to improve how we measure API consumption. So today, an API usage monitor is added to the dashboard.

BlockEden.xyz API usage monitor

The chart above shows a test customer's daily requests in the last seven days. The requests are measured in compute units. A compute unit estimates how many resources an API method consumes on BlockEden.xyz. For example, a simple REST request only consumes 1 CU, while a more complex GraphQL request consumes 5 CUs.

Please note that our daily cutoff for the API meter is UTC 00:00 am.

With this new line chart, you can

  • Get more accurate predictions of your API usage.
  • Make better decisions about how to use your APIs.
  • Spend less time worrying about your usage and more time developing your product.

BlockEden.xyz is committed to making it easy for developers to build applications on the blockchain. Our next step is to add basic data analytics for Aptos and support Sui Devnet. If you have any feedback, talk to us at https://discord.gg/GqzTYQ4YNa.

Aptos GraphQL API now available at BlockEden.xyz

Bock Eden is glad to add the indexer fullnode GraphQL to our Aptos API and Node Service. This solves the pain point immediately for many DApp developers with a high QPS demand in the Aptos ecosystem.

Without our out-of-box performant API, these developers have to connect to the official servers, which are shared across hobbyist developers with a very restrictive rate limit of 300 requests/hour. This limit is not for production-level products. In this case, developers are forced to run the indexer full node by themselves. And unfortunately, the official guide is confusing and does not cover the entire tech stack.

Now, with BlockEden.xyz's Aptos GraphQL API, developers are now free from worrying about the rate limit or the huge hassle of running their own GraphQL servers.

Here's how to get started...

Step 1. Go to https://blockeden.xyz/dash/. Please sign up if you haven't done so.

Step 2. Input your name for the API key, select Aptos Mainnet Indexer GraphQL, and then click + Create key.

Get Aptos GraphQL Step 1

Step 3. Click the access URL in the table to copy or click Test to get started with the Hasura GraphQL playground.

Get Aptos GraphQL Step 2

Get Aptos GraphQL Step 3

Bungie, who is working on an Aptos wallet, says "This is literally life-saving!"

BlockEden.xyz is committed to growing with the Aptos developers and providing the most tailored and scalable developer infrastructure. This GraphQL feature is exactly the result of listening to our customers. If you are an Aptos developer that needs anything from us, let us know at https://discord.gg/eWZvE4RSBw

Let's talk about blockchain TPS

Note: Metrics cited here were taken from October 2022 and may no longer reflect current network performance.

On Day 1 of Aptos Mainnet launch, there’s some confusing conversations on social media

TPS is the acronym for transactions per second and how engineers measure the volume of the network traffic. There are multiple scenarios when we are talking about TPS:

  • Max TPS means the maximum network traffic a blockchain could support . This is determined by how fast a chain could reach consensus and mint a new block, and the block size (e.g., BTC) the gas limit (e.g., Ethereum) of a block. For ethereum and later blockchain that support smart contracts, it makes more sense to be limited by gas, because different transactions (e.g., 1-to-1 token transfer vs multi NFT token mint) has various computation complexity, and they need to be metered consistently. That said, max TPS is not a very strict measurement of a chain’s throughput. Instead, max gas per second is. Then, how do developers get the value of the max TPS? It’s usually a result of experiments - upper bound given the good network condition, fully available validators, and simplest transactions.

  • Actual TPS is the current traffic volume of a blockchain in operation. This is majorly determined by how busy the network is. Around the launch of Aptos Mainnet, there’s not many dApps ready, and not many users holding Aptos tokens, so that not many people were doing business on Atpos at that moment. That’s why the actual TPS was low at that moment. However, actual TPS will be bounded by max TPS. The so-called Ethereum congestion is the moment when actual TPS already reaches max TPS, no more transactions could be processed, and they have to wait.

So Aptos’s high max TPS will demonstrate its advantage when the ecosystem is growing up, when we will still see almost instant transaction settlement and low transaction fee.

Then, let’s get back to BlockEden.xyz customers. We offer node API services at different tier, where the major difference is QPS (similarly, the acronym of queries per second) limit of using our service. Free tier basically gets 1 QPS, while Pro tier gets 10 QPS. That means how many REST API calls you could make per second. This is different from how many transactions could be settled on blockchain per second. When you call REST API, you may not only do the write operations (aka sending a transaction), but you could also do lots of read operations (e.g., getting account info, getting a block, getting a transaction).
