Overview

Alchemy Subgraphs (formerly Satsuma) is a blockchain indexing platform with drop-in support for hosted subgraphs.

Problems

Web3 engineering teams rely on subgraphs to quickly build custom APIs. However, they typically run into a few issues that cost engineering time.

• With the Hosted Service:

  • Downtime.

  • Data lag.

  • Slow reindexes.

  • Slow queries.

  • Lack of direct support.

• With the Decentralized Network:

  • Extra engineering effort.

  • High, unpredictable query costs.

  • Lack of indexing certainty.

  • Lack of direct support.

• With self-hosting:

  • Extra engineering effort to setup.

  • Mental burden for engineers to handle maintenance & issues.
