ift-ts:dst:ift:2026q2-dst-tooling
Description
We will create tools to help DST efficiency. These tools can be composed of utilities for Kubernetes, or any other kind that fits the necessities of DST and other projects. As projects might share common necessities, this tasks will be considered as a scaffold for DST tools, adapting the tools for each project if it needs. The primary focus will be on adapting the necessities of the Waku team for the log parser tool. This will comprise retrieving information from a given message id, history of discovered peers, subscriptions, while having good performance and supportability. Additionally, the project will define workflows that facilitate the creation and execution of specialized scenarios. These scenarios will assist in the analysis of libp2p and Gossipsub, supporting studies focused on adversarial conditions and control message behavior.

Description
Shadow simulator is hardcoded at the moment in dst-libp2p-test-node for the nim version. We want to abstract builders from the main repository to take into account shadow. We want to be able to launch experiments on K8s, deciding if we want to use a realistic environment, or shadow. This needs to take into account further data analysis of the main pipeline. Can probably be split into subtasks.
