❤️ Performance-focus - it is built to prioritize indexing speed
❤️ Blockchain data reusability - block data is stored in Object Storage for reusability, eliminating cost of calling JSON-RPC over and over again for the same data
❤️ Blockchain data is smartly organized & compressed using Databricks' DeltaLake technology plus Protobuf on top for storage-efficiency, very fast serialization, very fast to ingest and unlimited scalability
❤️ Indexed data is stored in NoSQL database to reduce database cost yet still fast in retrieval
❤️ Allowing user to specify a limit time to keep output data in store, like last 6 months or last year - help reduce data storage cost by remove outdated data
❤️ Graceful reorg-handling
❤️ Extensible - as Datafast code base is way simpler and extensible than graph-node, allowing user to freely implement more features without crying for help
❤️ No need IPFS!
❤️ No GAS required for indexing!
❌ Datafast Runtime is built to focus on the indexing-job. It does not come with a GraphQL query layer.
Datafast is built for educational & sharing purpose & not ready for production - since there are plenty of features that needs implementing & issues need addressing.
Still, Datafast-Runtime can be used as a ground-work to build in-house blockchain indexing solution to replace GraphNode / TheGraph
Companies who want to host their own subgraph data
Companies who want to host their own subgraph data with efficient storage cost, with their own solution
Developers who want to play around with their own version of Subgraph Indexing Engine
Developers who want to play around with WebAssembly technology and build crazier stuffs with it.
