RFP - Zcash Lightwalletd Infrastructure Development and Maintenance

Hi all, I am curious what the process and decision timeline is for proposals here?

I went ahead and wrote basic Helm charts and deployed them to our owned hardware in the USA, and to Vultr Kubernetes for now, for the global regions. I am in the process of testing the global load balancer architecture proposed above. For now the infrastructure is running zcashd. I will upgrade it to support zebra before releasing the chart.

I am going to submit a revised proposal that would use a mixture of owned servers and cloud hardware across more regions as suggested. It would be helpful to know the process by which proposals are evaluated so that I can prioritize my time.

Testing and feedback is welcomed on these endpoints running on Kubernetes:

https://zec.rocks:443 - Global endpoint (closest region automatically selected)
https://na.zec.rocks:443
https://sa.zec.rocks:443
https://eu.zec.rocks:443
https://ap.zec.rocks:443

All endpoints support IPv6 which I believe is very important for users in the developing world.
