Initial Sync

Bring a Sui full node into service only after checkpoint lag, peer count, API health, and disk growth are understood.

# Pseudocode checks wired to your local metrics/query tooling
curl -sf http://127.0.0.1:9184/metrics | grep sui
bash chains/sui/samples/grpcurl/checkpoint.sh

warning

Do not add a newly syncing node to a production read pool. A live process can still be behind the network and return stale data.

Track latest checkpoint freshness against a trusted upstream and expose readiness only when the lag is inside your SLO.
