Does this support syncing live blockchain data now? On one of the docs it said live syncing is coming soon.

[cryptokid]

yes, now it works for syncing live/real time data

Hey guys,

Can you explain what exactly are the differences btw using self hostedparse server and our own back end. Will we still be able to use cloud functions and useMoralisQuery in our own backend or would we have to use syntax of MongoDb(or whichever database we choose).

Will support for self hosted moralis server continue into the future or is this something implemented temporarily so as to not disrupt those who were using Moralis hosted servers?

Which is quicker and more secure?

And finally, which would you recommend as an overall?

Thanks!

[cryptokid]

the recommended way is to go with a self hosted server, you can self host it using a parse server that also includes the cloud code support

we will migrate to self hosted servers in the future

you can also use your own custom backend for self host if you don’t want to use parse server

[tomwhiteman]

Can we use cloud code if we don’t use parse server?

[cryptokid]

if you implement your version of cloud code of if you use another backend that supports cloud code then you can use it, in particular the cloud code implementation from moralis server is from parse server

[tomwhiteman]

Is there a parse server migration for the production build of streams?

maybe this post helps you

Using event-syncs in Moralis SDK v2 & Parse Server

As of 9 Oct 2022 the current available tutorials/guides regarding using Smart contract event syncs similar to the older Moralis SDK 1 Workflow is inconsistent (so I don’t say inexistent). Please take note that this guide has been written in a hurry because of lack of time. The reason why I posted this here is to save some frustration I went through so you don’t have to. WARNING The code shown here has NOT been tested for production environment and is only a way of achieving functionality simil…

Hey,

I’m new to servers, etc and have never applied a patch before. Do I need to just use the new repo or is there a way to apply the patch?

[cryptokid]

it depends on what you want to do, you can also use a different backend for streams in particular, you don’t have to use parse server necessarily

for streams you only need a server to listen for webhooks requests and then to add them into a database or to do other processing with that received data

[tomwhiteman]

I need the cloud code running as well. Would that work on firebase? I’d also like to use the ‘core_addEventSync’ function to keep track of contract factory created instances. Also, if I’m able to use cloud code on firebase, would it be the same syntax or would the syntax be different?

(apologies if the answers are obvious, I’ve just started working with servers and I’m learning as we speak)

[cryptokid]

I don’t know now the syntax for firebase, probably is different. You will have to use streams api for listening to events.
