# Substreams
Substreams is a powerful blockchain indexing technology, developed for The Graph Network.
It enables you to write Rust modules, composing data streams alongside the community, and provides extremely high performance indexing by virtue of parallelization, in a streaming-first fashion.
It has all the benefits of the Firehose, like low-cost caching and archiving of blockchain data, high throughput processing, and cursor-based reorgs handling.

#### Development
##### Release
```bash
sfreleaser release
```
Follow instructions the CLI is asking, the process is now automatic and version bump and Substreams package building is now all done automatically.
##### Protobuf Generation
``` shell
buf generate buf.build/streamingfast/substreams-foundational-store
```
