@cryptovestor, thank you for the detailed reply!
We also started to use Erigon but got some issue with it when we fit the 2 TB DB limit. It is running as an application in the VM and now we are considering to run it using containers.
Before using external services we at least need some usage data and we probably can use some proxy to collect the stats.
For example, Anyblock states that they are ready for The Graph and I found their announce on the forum.
I have some question to setup you described:
- Why you are use Geth for The Graph?
- How are your running Erigon - standalone or containers?
- Did you consider to use external services and why?
