A Golang familiarization project

Ethereum Indexer in GO

A basic project to serve dual purposes of learning Golang and potentially building useful tool for the web3 community

Project Structure

• src contains the indexer
• docker contains docker compose files for building the docker environment
• backend contains an api server to serve indexed content to a frontend

Docker Components

Infrastructure

• Kafka broker
• Postgres DB
• Mongo DB
• Redis

Blockchain

• Geth execution node
• Prysm validator node

Getting Started

• git clone https://github.com/SteveMieskoski/go-indexer.git
• cd go-indexer
• Run script to start all the docker components launchDevEnv.sh -a
• If you have nodes to connect via RPC you can use launchDevEnv.sh -i to only launch the infrastructure docker components
• Run make to build go-indexer
• Use ./build/bin/go-indexer to start go-indexer as a producer extracting blockchain data from the RPC endpoints in the env file
• Use ./build/bin/go-indexer --run-as-producer=false to start go-indexer as a consumer to parse the extracted blockchain data into the DBs
