tap currently uses the full Relay as a data source rather than Jetstream. Jetstream v2 makes it possible to do stateless replay/snapshotting of historical data so you don’t need to use tap for a heavyweight stateful backfill unless that’s actually what you need. will probably revisit tap after.

in other words, it technically complements tap, but it may wind up replacing it for a significant number of tap users, and we’ll do some follow-on work at some point to see how to better position/improve tap for people who still have a need for it instead of jetstream

hehe yeah we're very much going in tight parallel down making no-auth awesome (jetstream) and (i hope) fully-authenticated-sync awesome (hubble-sync) for full-network stuff! tight parallel like, down to us both having current relay-view full-network storage at exactly 1.6TiB!!
