Each blockchain has three watchers,

  • A websocket watcher for low latency
  • A querying watcher
  • And a sequence gap watcher

These three watchers all invoke the same handler callback.

The handler callback is responsible for:

  • Providing the watchers with the necessary query filter information
  • parsing the event into a persistence object
  • invoking the persistence manager

The persistence manager is responsible for:

  • Inserting records into the database in a safe manner, which takes into account that items will be seen multiple times.
  • Last write wins should be the approach taken here.
