The testnet currently has:
- 20 active validators: https://testnet.mekonglabs.tech/laconic/staking
- the Laconic Registry: https://loro-console.laconic.com/#/registry
- Snowball for publishing and deploying webapps: https://snowball.build
- 2 Service Providers running webapp deployers, for example;
- deployer API: https://webapp-deployer-api.pwa.laconic.blackblocks.io/
- deployer UI: https://webapp-deployer-ui.pwa.laconic.blackblocks.io/
Users can go to Snowball, select a template or their own webapp, and click deploy. This will publishing the ApplicationRecord to the Laconic Registry, alongside an ApplicationDeploymentRequest.
The deployer API will see the ApplicationDeploymentRequest then build and deploy from the ApplicationRecord source code. Finally, the deployer API will publish a DnsRecord and ApplicationDeploymentRecord to the Laconic Registry, as evidence that it succesfully completed the request. The deployer UI shows the logs for the build and deploy steps.
