The Stellar Development Foundation introduces the Composable Data Platform (CDP), a new open-source architecture that decentralizes data access on Stellar by breaking down monolithic tools like Horizon and Hubble into modular, configurable components. CDP enables developers to customize their data consumption patterns and infrastructure based on specific application needs.
The Stellar Development Foundation has announced the Composable Data Platform (CDP), a next-generation data-access architecture designed to address limitations in current Stellar data infrastructure. CDP decouples the monolithic design of Horizon and Hubble into standalone, interoperable components: Galexie (data extraction), Data Object Storage, Ledger Backend, Processors, and Loaders. This modular approach allows developers to choose their own XDR sources, customize data processing, select optimal databases, and reduce infrastructure costs. The first component, Galexie, is now available on GitHub and Docker Hub with GCS support. SDF is refactoring Hubble and Horizon to use CDP components, with Horizon v2.32.0 supporting re-ingestion from Galexie-exported data lakes. The platform aims to distribute data access across ecosystem participants and reduce dependency on SDF-hosted infrastructure.
