Launchpad Documentation
Launchpad is a comprehensive toolkit designed for running a Graph Protocol Indexer on Kubernetes, aimed at providing the fastest route to production deployments of multi-chain indexing software stacks with robust security and performance defaults.
Launchpad is suitable for environments ranging from a single node cluster to large scale multi-region clusters. Launchpad is also comprised of an opinionated set of tools that run on your local machine, that are layered to offer a declarative workflow for managing your deployment stack.
Key components of Launchpad include the Launchpad Starter (graphops/launchpad-starter), which serves as the initial setup point for new deployments; Launchpad Charts (graphops/launchpad-charts), a collection of Helm Charts for blockchains and web3 applications; Launchpad Namespaces (graphops/launchpad-namespaces), which are preconfigured Kubernetes Namespaces that utilize Helmfile for enhanced management; and Launchpad Taskfiles (graphops/launchpad-taskfiles), a collection of Tasks defined with Taskfile.
