Best Practices

Guidelines for building secure and efficient applications on Inery.

Security

• Key Isolation: Never use your producer keys for application-level transactions.
• Permission Levels: Use custom permission levels (e.g., active, owner) to limit the scope of what an account can do.
• Cold Storage: Keep your owner keys in cold storage (offline).

Performance

• Batching: When inserting large amounts of data into IneryDB, batch transactions to reduce overhead.
• Indexing: Use appropriate indexes for your data compositions to speed up queries.
• Resource Management: Monitor your account's RAM, CPU, and NET usage to avoid transaction failures.

Data Design

• Minimalism: Only store essential data on the decentralized layer. Use off-chain storage for large files and store their hashes on Inery.
• Schema Evolution: Plan for schema changes by using versioned data compositions.
