<aside> 🧑‍🚀 Existing tooling such as GraphOp’s Launchpad (docs here) and StakeSquid’s Docker setup are a great way of instantiating all of these services in a more automated manner. 👀 GraphOps has recently conducted a workshop on Launchpad, and more are on the way. All recordings will be made available here. Also, make sure you join #kubernetes-launchpad in The Graph’s Discord Server if you have questions.

For general questions on how to use the Indexer toolkit, including StakeSquid’s Docker, please use either #mips-testnet or #indexer-software.
