Summary

Orbit Codes is revolutionizing blockchain data indexing and analysis within the COSMOS ecosystem by transforming raw blockchain data into a structured PostgreSQL database with easy GraphQL access and replicating it to ClickHouse for advanced analytics. Initially faced with high costs, limited global reach, and Docker registry constraints at their previous cloud provider, they transitioned to Koyeb for a more efficient and scalable deployment solution. Koyeb offers seamless onboarding, fast deployments, and multi-region support, enabling Orbit Codes to deploy services across continents like Tokyo, Paris, and Washington, D.C., without extra configuration. This transition has improved user experience with faster response times and reduced latency, while also providing a cost-effective, fully managed, serverless infrastructure that supports auto-scaling and scale-to-zero capabilities, optimizing resource use based on demand. The technical stack includes Typescript-based Frontend with NextJS and React, a NestJS backend, Golang indexer, and databases like Postgres, ClickHouse, and PeerDB, all Docker-based to streamline deployment.
