✅ 1. Weekly Infra Insights

Real-world infrastructure observations for Polkadot & Kusama

Short, practical notes based on real infrastructure incidents:
• peer churn patterns
• NVMe pressure during replay
• latency spikes on certain providers
• CPU / IO saturation under load

These insights help DN candidates and node operators understand how the network behaves under stress.

✅ 2. Node Migration Playbooks

Safe and verifiable node transfers between servers

Step-by-step guides for migrating Polkadot nodes without risking database corruption:
• app-hash verification
• height/finality comparison
• proper state transfer
• safe transitions to new DCs or hardware

Used by operators preparing infrastructure for DN participation.

✅ 3. AstroSynx Snapshots Hub

Fast sync snapshots for Polkadot & Kusama

Regularly updated:
• Archive snapshots (full history)
• Pruned snapshots (lightweight fast sync)

Used by DN candidates and operators for:
• rapid node startup
• fast recovery after issues
• infrastructure bootstrap

✅ 4. Self-Healing Scripts + Open RPC Cluster

Automation + diagnostics for stable node operations

Lightweight self-healing scripts:
• stalled height detection
• peer-loss recovery
• auto-restart on critical failures
• basic monitoring patterns

Plus an open RPC/WS cluster for:
• diagnostics
• height verification
• header/state validation
