Deploying an Indexer (Subgraph) on Aurora with The Graph
Step-by-step guide to deploying a subgraph on Aurora using Mobula’s infrastructure for efficient blockchain data indexing and querying.
Creating a subgraph on Aurora using Mobula’s infrastructure is a straightforward task. This guide will help you set up and deploy your subgraph on the Aurora network efficiently.
What you’ll need
- Basic knowledge of The Graph and subgraphs.
- Your subgraph project files
- The Graph CLI installed
- A Mobula API key (for authentication)
Walkthrough
Prepare Your Subgraph
Set up your subgraph for Aurora. Update your subgraph.yaml file to reference Aurora-specific contracts and events. If you don’t have a subgraph, you can clone the Uniswap V2 (Trisolaris) subgraph template and adapt it for Aurora:
Install Dependencies
Make sure you have The Graph CLI installed:
Build Your Subgraph
Compile your subgraph before deployment:
Create the Subgraph
Use the following command to deploy your subgraph:
Deploy to Mobula's Aurora Node
Use the following command to deploy your subgraph:
Authenticate
Upon request, provide your Mobula API key for authentication. For additional guidance on acquiring and utilizing your API key, see the authentication section.
Monitor Deployment
After deployment, you’ll receive a URL to monitor your subgraph’s indexing progress and status.
Best Practices
- Keep your subgraph up to date to ensure it aligns with the latest Aurora network changes.
- Conduct comprehensive testing on a testnet before mainnet deployment.
- Continuously monitor performance and fine-tune queries for maximum efficiency.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter deployment problems:
- Double-check your
subgraph.yamlconfiguration. - Verify that the network name and Mobula node URLs are correct.
- Make sure your API key is valid and properly authorized.
