DADI’s amorphous network is perfectly setup to leverage debt capacity. There is no single point reliance on individual nodes, and resource utilization scales within configurable parameters. If you have capacity in your network or an underutilized installed device set, DADI can provide an effective route to monetization.

Of course the bulk of the network will be built with computational power contributed by individuals.

Web services

DADI Track

DADI Track — the real-time, streaming data layer in our web services stack — was released to private alpha.

DADI Track is an event tracking server that records user activity using either a tracking pixel built into a website, via a client-side JavaScript library or via an API interface. Track then broadcasts received events to any connected clients.

It is deliberately lightweight. It is not intended to be a long term data storage solution or as a replacement for existing tracking tools such as Google Analytics or the wider DADI platform; rather it is designed to facilitate real-time data dashboarding and piping.

DADI Queue

DADI Queue v2.2.0 moved to live. DADI Queue provides a lightweight asynchronous task queue with simple task routing and throttling. You can read a great write up here.

DADI API

DADI API v2.3.0 was released, bringing DADI Logger 1.3.0 into the platform.

We also released a number of how to’s:

DADI CDN

DADI CDN 2.0 was released, bringing a plethora of new functionality to the service, including plugin support, JavaScript transformation, simplified URL paths for assets, WebP support and support for any type of asset.

We’re particularly excited about plugins — modular pieces of user-defined logic with the power to extend the functionality of the core application. They’re analogous to API hooks and Web events, as they allow scripts at a project level to change the normal course of a request with custom behavior.

Find out more about plugins, transforming JavaScript at the edge and version 2.0.

DADI Publish

While all of our web services are conceived as standalone apps, designed to answer the requirements of clearly defined tasks, they are all components of a wider vision that envisages digital products as a collection of microservices that work in concert together.

To this end, DADI Publish now has support for DADI CDN built in. This allows Publish to load images from the same source that API uploads to, removing a step (and improving the performance) in the process of retrieving those assets for display in the Publish interface.

DADI Store

DADI Store moved to Alpha, with the first end-to-end build released to a subset of our testnet. DADI Store utilizes IPFS to facilitate decentralized storage at Host level, with entry points handled at Gateway level and a private chain at Stargate level that is used to secure assets.

Full details on the Alpha of DADI Store will be released in the coming weeks.

DADI Identity

DADI Identity moved to Alpha. Identity provides a CRM layer to help you better manage and improve relationships with your users. Records can be created from the point of first contact, either added manually, imported from a CSV file or created automatically through its API.

DADI Identity is designed to work in tandem with other products, both from DADI and third parties. For example, you might use DADI Track to programmatically send events to Identity to augment a user’s record with browsing or purchasing behaviour within your online properties.

Identity includes hooks and triggers to perform a variety of automated tasks in response to user actions. As one of our engineers puts it, “DADI Identity is the IFTTT (If This, Then That) of CRM tools”.

DADI.cloud update

We’re retooling our site at https://dadi.cloud to provide a comprehensive, one-stop shop for our technology. Our other sites in dadi.tech and forum.dadi.tech are being closed, and their content rolled into the new site.

Here’s a window into the future: a sneak preview of the new DADI site — complete with specially commissioned artwork from Daniel Savage.
