- Worked with Zoltan, handed over some new utils/features
- Tweaked VictoriaLogs deployment to enable new visualiser
- Created new [experimental realtime visualiser](https://github.com/vacp2p/nodejs-visualiser) (separate codebase for now)
- Uses VictoriaLogs to scrape
- Will look at crossover/integration down the track
-`vac:dst:deployment-and-analysis:waku:midscale`
- Ran [Waku v0.29 deployments](https://www.notion.so/2036-4bf142edb56e43dfa26e117a6f9b0415) to measure Waku without peer discovery and get a baseline idea of DiscV5's performance (in terms of mesh behaviour) and bandwidth usage.
- Ran into scaling issues, could not go beyond low (~40-80) number of well connected peers in a 1000 node cluster
- Repeated attempts with same results consistently
- Will repeat with new parameters
