imo the Emerging Autonomi Community needs its own Test work to do development on, you cant do this on the production network and that is where the release candidates should be parked by Maidsafe, so the Community can go at it with a broad array of Blackbox testing from every angle, before any Release Candidate gets released into the wild, with permissioned instrumentation and logging, using the existing tool sets upgraded to handle such work. Maidsafe needs to think this through in my opinion, and redirect rewards to get this funded and built fast, now that the tech has been validated to work under light load. The whole security set of tests should bne Community centric aimed at a clone of the currently operating production network first.
That means imo Maidsafe would very wise in funding and deploying a lot of system node fleets in the Cloud an enlisting the Community to run the black box tests on those core Test Network fleets armed with test dummy tokens, which can also be used to develop Apps.
The ‘Enlisted BlackBox Testers’ and ‘Autonomi App Builders’ would then work with the Maidsafe assigned Maidsafe Community Test Network engineers to drum up on the Cloud Fleets Colo and the MetalaaS fleet imo.
as well as those Enlisted Blackbox Testers (for each test round) that want to run single system fleet and node tests on equipment they have can choose to optionally join this community test network and create their own black box testing and reporting using Maidsafe Core team instrumented versions of the current production code,
which allow the Enlisted Blackbox Testers EBTs to ‘permission’ turn on the refashioned instrumented logging sent to a Community and Maidsafe read accesible central logging volumes in the cloud, of flat files for each system node fleet and in select community determined test and builder node only sets, logging results (say using OpenTelemetry) that can then be rolled up into a proper postgres db system selectively to generate Test reports (Jasper or the like, why not) versus test pass/fail metrics of the Test Acceptance Plans per round of testing, Reporting graphed and profiled by type of safenode host gear and size of fleet yadda, yadda…
So we start to get a clear picture of what is going in the primary, secondary and exception use case sense from multiple test perspectives run by the EBTs
It’s possible to round up all these logs with a pub/sub Event Driven Architecture which is more efficient and scales way better than rest api,
so that would be my vote, transform the existing tooling for testing purposes to pub/sub event drive design and run a number of hosted FOSS Solace pub/sub brokers in the cloud to act as traffic cops, diltering reporting and graphic Traffic in close groups as well as between close and far groups and pumpbing that at say Kafka log repositories selectively for each test wave , so that traffic can be properly analysed with and between close groups.
Heck I can likely get my friend at Solace to help out, in his spare time…,
My current Solace contact was my Principal Lead Architect at Platespin back in the day , previously he had worked for TransArc before IBM bought them (and on early Java when it was called ‘oak’)
n.b- Solace are working on totally distributed Agentic AI to build a cognitive mesh so they would probably be an excellent partner for Autonomi, I know for a fact they are looking to deploy their early prototype of Agentic AI Cognitive Mesh at scale
Start the video at 18:26from CTO Shawn McAlister of Solace as he intros the lead AI guy Ed Funnekotter who gives a demo of how Agentic AI works in the event driven Cognitive Mesh
Keep in mind Solace provide the infrastructure for event driven architectures at some of the biggest companies in the world handling Millions of events per day
I can make intros to Shawn and Ed via my contact there for Maidsafe and key member of the Builder Community to get the ball rolling , if you like ,
if Maidsafe and the Community is interested,
but please first watch the video first to understand Agentic AI and Cognitive Mesh, and do a bit of homework on the pubsub broker space, they dovetail into a lot of other projects like Apache Kafka…
I think Solace would be a very good partner fit with where Maidsafe is going with personal private AI , and how to monetize that app , outside looking in… 
The good news its early days but happening really FAST., and Solace is the clear agile leader in the space , so easy to work with
@dirvine Solace are the ex NewBridge Guys backed by Terry Mathews Canada’s biggest Billionaire and founder of NewBridge and cofounder of Mitel ,
for those not familiar (or much younger ) Newbridge sold out to Alcatel for $10B+ US… so at the time smartest of the smart in the Internet WAN space…
and then theex Newbridge members founded Solace two years later, with many of the core team still in their 30s at the time… they are all now all in their 50s , a few of them maybe older
Solace also know and understand OpenTelemetry very well and how to scale it…so that expertise would in theory would be really handy for the proposed Community BlackBox Test effort…
All doable Glad to help hook up Maidsafe to Solace, if there is interest
