Gaining visibility in IPFS systems

The text discusses the development and use of an observability tool called IPFS Gateway monitor, which is used to measure the performance of IPFS gateways. It explains that IPFS is a distributed system for storing and accessing files, websites, applications, and data, and that IPFS gateways enable users to access IPFS content using only web browsers. The text also provides details on various scenarios tested with the monitor, including serving immutable IPFS contents, mutable IPNS named contents, and DNSLink websites. It concludes by stating that IPFS content is fetched best when cached, and that leveraging DNSLink appears to be a faster strategy for naming IPFS resources. The text also mentions the growth of IPFS use and the ongoing development of tooling to improve metrics related to IPFS gateways.
