Envio vs Goldsky

How Envio and Goldsky differ on type, speed, chains and developer experience.

EnvioGoldsky
TypeOpen-source frameworkManaged service
How it worksThe HyperIndex framework with TypeScript handlers, powered by HyperSync (a Rust query engine up to 2000× faster than RPC). Wildcard + multichain from a single indexer; self-host via Docker or use the hosted service. Graph-compatible migration.Two products: Subgraphs (instant, Graph-compatible GraphQL, zero maintenance) and Mirror (stream raw on-chain data straight into Postgres or your warehouse, no code).

Envio

  • Independently benchmarked fastest
  • HyperSync up to 2000× faster than RPC
  • TypeScript + wildcard + multichain
  • EVM-focused (non-EVM via RPC only)
  • Younger ecosystem than The Graph

Goldsky

  • Fully managed, zero maintenance
  • Graph-compatible Subgraphs
  • Mirror streams to your own DB/warehouse
  • Paid managed service
  • Mirror shifts reorg/correctness to you

Bottom line

Pick Envio for fast evm indexing + great dx; pick Goldsky for managed subgraphs + data pipelines.
