Architecture

This page illustrates a simplified high-level architecture diagram of Sorada.

Sorada Architecture Diagram

Services

Sorada is composed of multiple services that enable Sonic to optimize read requests

Sorada Services

Lite RPC

The Lite RPC service is an optimized Solana RPC service stripped away from a Solana full node only maintaining data retrieval endpoints such as getBlock and getTransaction.

Ingestor

The Ingestor service pulls real-time data from the Sonic Hypergrid and persists data on the big table storage.

Replicator

The Replicator service replicates the indexed data from the big table storage to a distributed filesystem for more resilient data preservation.

Data Repositories

Sorada utilizes three (3) different data repository types for a robust data preservation infrastructure.

Sorada Data Repositories

Cache

Sorada utilizes a cache for an efficient retrieval of repetitive requests.

Big Table

Sorada utilizes a big table database as its primary data store.

Distributed Filesystem

Sorada utilizes a self-replicating distributed filesystem to ensure data is safely persisted across multiple data nodes.
