Yes, LNDg is a massive part of my noderunning. It’s the one piece of software I literally couldn’t run my node without (After LND and Bitcoind of course!). But I have mostly backed away from automation in favor of manual control.
I have used automation in the past and it’s a great tool for hammock mode and minimal intervention strategy. I averaged about 3% over the past few months.
Lately my strategy has relied heavily on LOOP. The last two weeks fees (and volumes) are absolutely through the roof. With the new strategy I am having to do a lot more hands on approach, adjusting fees more often and managing much larger liquidity swings in both directions.

I actually would not run LNDG on a very active routing node. It's resource intensive. You really want to minimize disk reads/writes as much as possible and you can do this by sending events from LND to an external DB or application and doing all your analytics there.
Thank you for sharing! I’m keen to run a profitable node someday 🫡🫡
