Add ADANATOR

[rphair]

I don't see how we could possibly approve this to be placed among our existing hosted services, given that:

• there is no free tier (or even a low-cost tier)
• there is no online documentation

@Godspeed-exe please post here if I am wrong about either of these observations.

[Godspeed-exe]

I wasn't aware of the requirements, I'll get on that! 😄

[rphair]

@Godspeed-exe neither of these are "requirements" but rather the ways in which the providers of these hosted services generally invite adoption... which is consistent with the Developer Portal's mission to promote Cardano adoption overall.

[Godspeed-exe]

@rphair I've added a free tier and linked to the GraphQL documentation.
I'm also adding an embedded GraphiQL editor but this being a PITA.

Let me know if you have any further suggestions or questions!

[rphair]

@Godspeed-exe thanks for adding the free tier: it's a good step forward. I had been hoping to see some more documentation: the button link just goes to a viewer for the DB schema rather than any description of your service itself works.

Other reviewers: I found it was possible to get through it in a couple minutes just signing up for the free tier & following the bouncing ball. I think it's a help to have this on the Dev Portal for the one reason that it gives people a cardano-graphql environment in which they can make 1000 requests per day as they are learning.

@Godspeed-exe do I remember correctly that the price was $50 per month when I did my last review (it's $100 now)? If so, maybe this is to make up for the presentation of a free tier? In either case, if I were considering one of your enterprise subscriptions I would be put off by the thin & somewhat buggy web site with no documentation about your back end or support commitments.

No-go for me to review, it's a simple graphql instance(s) served online - fail to see any value-add compared to what's already served via dandelion, the efforts taken (be it this PR itself, the website or lack of helpful content to know/interact further) feel really discouraging to me

PS: Not a fan of self-submission to favourite tag either, and in-spite of review comments, the submitter did not care to remove the tag himself.

[rphair]

@rdlrt this also reflects my own feelings except that I'm also considering the importance of having something even lighter-weight than dandelion for educational purposes. But there is also the issue of professional endorsement of the paid service to consider, which I'd be unwilling to do... but which might be implied by its appearance on the Dev Portal 🤔

found Dandelion equivalent (hosted, not Kerberos install)

[rphair]

p.s. @rdlrt now I see: I'd just been looking at Dandelion's Kubernetes installation (I typo'd Kerberos above, which I can't edit) and not the free/hosted service referred to here via the Get Started page for Dandelion. So my assertion was incorrect that this service is beneficial based on the free tier.

[Godspeed-exe]

@rphair thanks for the input!

As mentioned I've added a public Graphiql Playground (like the Hasura interface) I had to secure this before adding it into the frontend. Glad to hear you were able to register easily and get access to it.

• I've added a contact link for reaching out on the Dashboard for support.
• The website started off as a TransactionBuilder for someone in the community, I only spent a few hours on this (hence the buggy and thin) - it's work in progress.
• It's similar to Dandelion indeed, but I've talked to Roberto (he's aware of my project), but exposing a raw GraphQL to the public makes it easy to abuse / overuse. Hence, separating free and paid users. There are enterprises that want to build but don't want to run their own. Look at Blockfrost (amazing job on the API) but GraphQL is also pretty widely used, hence this initiave.

@rdlrt

• Sorry for initially adding the "favorite" tag, I think this has been removed (by @rphair ) in the meantime?
• you are correct that it's multiple graphql instances
• it's not exactly like Dandelion, since it's load balanced across multiple instances and keeping track of API counts while having it's own Playground. Like mentioned above Dandelion is great for learning but it's often offline, which isn't great for enterprises.

I do admit that it needs more "make up", but it's still an early version. I'm also planning on adding other functionalities in the future, sadly time is as scarce as Bitcoin.

Let me know what else you are looking for, happy to hear constructive feedback about how to improve!

Feels a bit slow, but worked for me
