# Benefits

> Why teams build on Goldsky: Turbo pipelines, Edge RPC, Compose, Subgraphs, and platform advantages, from webhooks and instant subgraphs to faster iteration.

## Turbo

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Own your data" icon="database">
    Replicate data into your own database and co-locate it with your other app data (product, customer, and any off-chain data). No brittle scraping or polling scripts, and simpler front-end queries.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Broad sink support" icon="bubbles">
    Turbo supports a broad set of sinks, from OLAP databases like ClickHouse to OLTP databases like Postgres or MySQL, plus queue systems like Kafka and S2.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="10x performance" icon="zap">
    Ground-up Rust rewrite uses \~10x fewer resources than Mirror for the same job, and keeps up with fast chains like Solana.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Enhanced developer experience" icon="wrench">
    Write transformation logic in TypeScript/JavaScript, watch data flow through your pipeline in real time with live inspect, and run pipelines as one-off batch jobs with a defined start and end for point-in-time pulls. Combined with faster startup times, iteration cycles are 10x faster.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Dynamic tables" icon="refresh-cw">
    Update filters on a running pipeline instantly: no restarts, no re-syncs. Track new wallets or addresses on the fly.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Solana-native support" icon="circle-dollar-sign">
    Access full historical Solana data from genesis (not just mid-2024 as in Mirror v1), with built-in IDL decoding.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Edge RPC

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Fastest responses from 8+ edge regions" icon="zap">
    Multi-region elastic cloud infrastructure serves requests from the closest location. A tip-of-the-chain CDN stores and serves recent blockchain data faster, while hedging mechanisms send parallel requests to multiple nodes for faster response times.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Maximum resiliency and failover" icon="shield-check">
    Automatic failover keeps requests flowing during provider outages. Internal scoring prioritizes the historically most reliable nodes, and multiplexing auto-merges identical requests to reduce redundant RPC calls.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Automated data quality checks" icon="badge-check">
    Cross-validate responses from multiple RPC nodes for accuracy. Integrity mechanisms track block heights across all providers and enforce consensus checks to prevent stale, incorrect, or partial data. No more missing `eth_getLogs` results in your indexer.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Optimized for indexing" icon="database">
    Auto-split large `eth_getLogs` requests to avoid provider limits. Historical data requests are automatically routed to archive nodes, and block range enforcement guards against gaps in your data.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Boosted for frontend" icon="gauge">
    Sub-50ms latency from edge locations, request deduplication so multiple users share a single upstream call, graceful degradation with automatic retries and failover, and real-time data via tip-of-chain caching.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Simple pricing" icon="circle-dollar-sign">
    \$5 per million requests with all methods priced equally. No surprise charges for `eth_getLogs` or trace methods. Volume discounts available for usage over 100M requests/month.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Compose

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Verifiable" icon="shield-check">
    Run code in Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to verify operations without the latency of decentralized consensus.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Durable execution" icon="repeat">
    Workflows complete even through failures. Retries, recovery, and state persistence are built in, so you don't write your own error handling or babysit stuck runs.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Fully traceable" icon="list-checks">
    Every function call that touches external systems is logged with inputs and outputs. Step through executions in the CLI or UI to debug issues quickly and understand exactly what happened at every stage of your workflow.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Flexible data orchestration" icon="route">
    Build custom data feeds with your own data sources, scopes, refresh logic, and content, rather than adapting to someone else's design decisions.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Subgraphs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Upgraded developer experience" icon="mouse">
    On top of the standard subgraph development experience, Goldsky adds:

    1. **Webhooks**: get pushed updates when entities change instead of polling the API. Useful for realtime notifications and data synchronization.
    2. **Instant subgraphs**: index contract data from a config file, no mapping code required.
    3. **Tags**: point your frontend at a stable endpoint and swap the subgraph version behind it. No downtime, no stale data.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Improved reliability and performance" icon="zap">
    Goldsky proxies all data ingestion through a load balancer with 20+ RPC endpoints and automatically prioritizes between them based on latency, time of day, and historical responsiveness. The result: faster indexing and higher uptime than the alternatives.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Custom chain support" icon="settings-2">
    On a dedicated indexing instance, Goldsky can add custom RPC endpoints for any EVM-compatible chain with no downtime, including custom or private blockchains.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Integrated with broader data stack" icon="link">
    Stream subgraph data into your broader infrastructure via Turbo, with control an API alone can't give you. Cross-chain subgraphs are one example.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Platform

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Easy to work with" icon="wrench">
    There's no token, so you don't run a trading desk just to pay your data provider, and no per-query fees, so costs stay predictable.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Enterprise-level support" icon="phone">
    Goldsky offers 24/7 on-call support and has a team of engineering staff available to assist with debugging, issue resolution, and proactive management.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
