curious who is using the graph protocol and for what... if you're actively using it, can you reply here?

We tried to use it at one point, but we’ve had issues. We’ve also tried other blockchain indexing solutions and they were all struggling to keep up and periodically go down and be out of sync

I used the Graph before to bulk resolve ENS names. I don't agree with their move to deprecate the centralized graph hosting. That sunsetting actually spurred a buddy to build Ponder, which is basically like a self-hostable Graph-compatible query service. https://github.com/0xOlias/ponder

they spent too much time optimizing token incentives and spent less time on developer productivity or improving performance (latency/ throughput) better off using centralized api providers like alchemy/ simplehash/ center in most cases

I once tried to use it to gather data for my aave liquidation practice bot. Was fine overall, but often a bit out of sync, and sometimes the data is messed up (in arrays in my experience). Ended up building a very simple indexer myself
