Really interested in trying out shadow.xyz. 

Directionally seems correct:
* potential to save millions of $ in gas if contracts move away from emitting events
* solves many issues with indexing onchain data

We’ve built a number of Subgraphs, and using Shadow would significantly improve the data depth and performance, especially with contracts that are “missing” events. 

Curious about the current status of subgraph integration. From the docs, looks like it will work locally, but are there any updates on integration with a hosting service like Goldsky, Alchemy, or The Graphs decentralized network? Also what about integration with firehose (suspect shadow and firehose would be mutually exclusive)? 

Or… I heard whispers Shadow may be working on something to replace Subgraphs?

thanks @spencerperkins.eth !

shadow plays nicely with existing subgraph providers via the shadow RPC :)

and depending on how you're using your subgraph, you may be able to just write indexing logic directly in the smart contract and send the resulting shadow events directly to your database (which is maybe what you've heard about "replacing subgraphs")
