How Goldsky and Envio differ on type, speed, chains and developer experience.
| Goldsky | Envio | |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Managed service | Open-source framework |
| How it works | Two products: Subgraphs (instant, Graph-compatible GraphQL, zero maintenance) and Mirror (stream raw on-chain data straight into Postgres or your warehouse, no code). | The 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. |
| Chains | 150+ | 85+ EVM (+ any via RPC) |
| Speed | Real-time | Fastest |
| Coding | No-code / GraphQL | TypeScript |
| Best for | Managed subgraphs + data pipelines | Fast EVM indexing + great DX |
Pick Goldsky for managed subgraphs + data pipelines; pick Envio for fast evm indexing + great dx.
