Run your own Graph node on AWS
Description
Querying data from blockchain can be done by calling a smart contract directly. This quickly reaches its limits, for instance if a dApp needs historical data (such as particular state at a certain block height). So instead of querying a smart contract directly, it's often better to put an indexer between the dApp and the blockchain. The indexer monitors the blockchain and extracts the relevant data into a database. The dApp can then use rich queries against the database to get the data.
The blog post explains how to deploy a self-hosted The Graph node that can be used to index smart contracts on a blockchain.
