Running a blockchain node requires massive infrastructure—we're talking terabytes of storage and custom indexing software just to make sense of all that data. It's a heavy lift for builders trying to work in the TRON ecosystem.
That's where data indexing solutions come in. Instead of each developer spinning up their own node infrastructure, they can tap into organized, production-ready blockchain data that's already been processed and structured. This dramatically cuts the time and resources needed to build on TRON.
For TRON builders specifically, having reliable data infrastructure means less headache around blockchain queries and more focus on actually shipping products. The indexing layer becomes the bridge between raw blockchain data and usable information.

ngl index solution is really a lifesaver. I no longer have to build that pile of broken infrastructure myself.

Honestly, running a node yourself is really too exhausting; who can handle terabyte-level data?

Index services, to put it simply, are just ways to take the blame off developers and make things easier.

ngl That's why the indexing layer is so popular, it saves everyone from having to build their own infrastructure...

To be honest, someone should have clarified this long ago; node infrastructure is indeed the bottleneck.

To be honest, setting up nodes by myself is too troublesome, and the indexing solution is indeed a lifesaver.

Do we still have to set up nodes ourselves? The indexing layer is indeed a lifesaver; otherwise, just data processing alone would be costly.

To be honest, this is the real pain point in building a blockchain. If the indexing layer is well-developed, development efficiency can be doubled.
