DMTN-82 makes the initial proposal on how the EFD data would be available for the Science Platform. In SQR-029, we prototyped our EFD solution based on Kafka and InfluxDB. In SQR-031 we deployed the EFD at the lab in Tucson and at the Summit supporting AuxTel tests.

In this technote, we'll detail the EFD operations, which includes the data flow from the Summit to LDF, data replication, fault tolerance, data retention policies and formats to store the raw EFD data for the lifetime of the experiment.
