Description

This PR adds a guide on indexing strategies for Base, focusing on The Graph and Goldsky.

Changes

  • New File: apps/base-docs/docs/cookbook/data/high-performance-indexing.md
  • Comparison: Detailed analysis of Linear Indexing (The Graph) vs. Parallel Indexing (Goldsky) to help developers choose the right tool for latency-sensitive apps.
  • Tutorial: Step-by-step code for initializing, mapping, and deploying a custom subgraph to the Base network.
  • Schema Design: Example of an Account/Transfer entity relationship model for tracking ERC-20 balances.

Why

Standard RPC methods (eth_getLogs) are insufficient for production applications. This guide provides the path for developers to migrate to proper indexing solutions, which improves dApp performance and reliability on Base.

Add a comprehensive guide on high-performance indexing strategies comparing The Graph and Goldsky, including setup instructions for building a custom subgraph and querying data.
