Btw watch out for the license - this isn't open source.

Maybe I’m missing it but where is the main site where I can try out queries?

    That’s the GitHub which also doesn’t seem to link to a site where this is already running. Is the intention that you need to clone, run and ingest 750gb data just to try this out?

@Manish: is this your continuation of the Dgraph technology? Context: Manish was the founder of Dgraph but recently left the company behind it. The company got new leadership and recently announced new funding: https://dgraph.io/blog/post/funding-20220720/ https://dgraph.io/blog/post/funding-20220720/

  This is a significantly altered fork of Dgraph. Outserv is purely focused on providing an amazing GraphQL + Custom Business Logic experience. It doesn't provide DQL mutations, and the DQL queries are marked deprecated and would go away soon. Outserv chases simplicity -- No more transactions, so no need for custom clients -- all interactions are done via the HTTP port (no public gRPC), etc. There are also changes in deployment model of Outserv -- it's a lot simpler to deploy than Dgraph is. https://github.com/outcaste-io/outserv/compare/v21.12.0..v22.07.0 https://github.com/outcaste-io/outserv/compare/v21.12.0..v22...

i really think the blockchain part should be part of the title on HN, it's kind of the USP

  +1, it’s a blockchain search engine with a GraphQL interface.

What problem is this solving?
- mrjn 4y ago
  Building GraphQL APIs over so many different types of web3 data (transactions, blocks, smart contracts, NFTs, different chains, what not).
