Welcome to This Month in Graph Indexing where we look back at the last month and highlight the most interesting happenings in The Graph Indexer community.
StreamingFast sped up the SushiSwap subgraph indexing time by 300x
This subgraph’s data usually takes around 3+ weeks to be indexed up to chain head, but StreamingFast, using their innovative tools — Firehose & Sparkle — managed to reduce the sync time to around 2 hours. After 40 mins, they had human-readable flat files with all the data one would get from the GraphQL interface.
