Node socket vs Ogmios?

[bakon11]

Is there any advantage in performance or anything by connecting Kupo to Cardano node socket vs Ogmios instance?

[KtorZ]

Yes.

• It is much faster (~2x) to synchronize directly through the node's domain socket than through Ogmios.
• But, synchronizing through the websocket allows quite easily to do it remotely and for instance, have multiple kupo services connected to a single instance, all on different machines.

Awesome, thank you.
