Case Study: Koi Finance achieves 10x faster indexing and querying with Goldsky Subgraphs

How Koi Finance Unlocked 10x Faster Indexing and Querying with Goldsky

Koi Finance, a zkRollup-based DEX and farming platform on zkSync, was facing critical performance and scalability issues with its subgraph infrastructure. Certain queries for their frontend were taking over ten seconds, and a full reindexing of a subgraph took nearly a week, threatening months of potential downtime for their users. This led them to seek a new provider and migrate to Goldsky's hosted subgraphs.

The vendor, Goldsky, provided a multi-faceted solution that included rapid infrastructure setup for zkSync, expert analysis and optimization of the subgraph code, and database-level customizations. These efforts resulted in a 10x increase in indexing speed and a 50x decrease in query response times for Koi Finance. Goldsky enabled the platform to handle 2x the peak load and go from deployment to a stable production environment serving 50k+ daily requests in under 48 hours.
