| Spark sees 10x improvement in Filecoin retrievability | ProductSpark | Published | Patrick Woodhead | Patrick Woodhead | On April 18th 2024, the overall Filecoin retrieval success rate (RSR), as measured by Spark, was 1.22%. Many Storage Providers were simply not serving retrievals. On the 25th September 2024, Spark measured the overall Filecoin RSR at 12.8%, a 10.5x improvement. |  | Spark sees 10x improvement in Filecoin retrievability | |||
| How SPARK Retrieves Content From Filecoin | EngineeringSpark | Published |  Miroslav Bajtoš | Miroslav Bajtoš | In the previous posts, we explained how SPARK samples Filecoin deals and how SPARK discovers content stored in those deals. In the final post of this series, we will explain how SPARK tests whether the content can be retrieved. |  | How SPARK Retrieves From Filecoin | |||

| Ethers v5 and Colossal Gas Overspending | Engineering | Published |  Julian Gruber | Julian Gruber | The popular JavaScript library Ethers v5 can overpay FVM smart contract calls by 6000x. A single contract call can cost >2FIL instead of negligible 0.0003 FIL. |  | Ethers v5 and Colossal Gas Overspending | |||
| How we reduced memory usage by 90% | EngineeringSpark | Published | Miroslav Bajtoš | Miroslav Bajtoš | Four easy changes reduced the total memory usage of Spark’s Node.js backend from 4+ GB to ~360 MB: Convert plain data objects to class instances. De-duplicate immutable string values. Carefully choose how you calculate percentiles. Represent timestamps as numbers. |  | How we reduced memory usage by 90% | |||
| Optimising Performance of Spark's Postgres Database | EngineeringSpark | Published | Miroslav Bajtoš | Miroslav Bajtoš | Setting up observability for Postgres performance requires a bit of work, but it gives you valuable insights into the performance of your database. |  | Optimising Performance of Spark's Postgres Database |
