# DipDup

> Python indexing framework that can use SQD Network as a data source

[DipDup](https://dipdup.io) is a Python indexing framework that can use [SQD Network](/en/network/overview) as a data source. It offers:

* SQLite, PostgreSQL and TimescaleDB data sinks
* GraphQL APIs based on Hasura

Development workflow uses the `dipdup` tool to generate a stub project. Once done with that, all you have to do is to define the data schema and the handlers. Take a look at their [quickstart](https://dipdup.io/docs/quickstart-evm) for more details.

With its handler-based architecture and the choice of Python as the transform logic language, DipDup is easier to develop for than [Squid SDK](/en/sdk/squid-sdk/overview), but has higher requirements on database IO bandwith and CPU. The IO bandwidth issue is partially solved by DipDup's caching layer used for database access.
