Outserv: Blockchain Search with GraphQL APIs

Note (Dec 13, 2022): 0xfast.com doesn't use Outserv directly. Outserv is not being actively maintained.


Outserv enables you to run production grade GraphQL Search APIs over any blockchain data 10x faster than existing mechanisms.

Outserv is the only system which combines the power of a search engine, a cache engine and a GraphQL layer, thus replacing three different systems in production.

With a single executable binary, Outserv makes it trivial for anyone to bring up a production grade GraphQL tech stack -- which I consider to be an important step towards web3 decentralization.

Demo

An Outserv server with first 14.5M polygon blocks is running here: https://poly.0xfast.com/graphql . You can point any GraphQL editor to this address to get the full schema.

curl -XPOST https://poly.0xfast.com/graphql -H "Content-Type: application/graphql" -d '{queryLog(filter: {address: {eq: "0x5e1ddf2e5a0ecdd923692d4b4429d8603825a8c6"}}, first: 10) { address, topics, data, blockNumber }}'

Latest Release

  • The latest release of Outserv is v22.07, codenamed webb.
  • Latest release is in release/v22.07 branch.

Five Reasons Why You Should Choose Outserv over Cloud API Services

  1. Having control over your own API server and blockchain node is the holy grail of decentralization -- the big leap that web3 has over web2.
  2. Never run into rate limits, ever again.
  3. Not only is Outserv high-performant, having a dedicated system running closer to edge, just for your usage, would always outperform far-away cloud API servers where your queries have to compete for resources against all others.
  4. Data is no one-size-fits-all. Enrich the blockchain data by adding more context, combining data from multiple sources to allow for better searches.
  5. For medium to heavy workloads, Outserv would be way cheaper than paying for various Cloud API access.
