I need to save all Transfer events of the blockchain in order to later on build up a balance tracker for all wallets I wanna fetch. I was thinking about running gEth on AWS but I never did anything with gETH before.

What would be the best setup and version of gETH in order to later on be able to fetch Transfer events from block 0 on via web3?

You just need latest OS (either windows or linux), geth latest version(1.10.4) with a minimum of 500GB disk space(at present ETH blockchain need 400GB+ disk space). Best place to start : https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum

    You might also need to add load parameter --txlookuplimit=0 to index all transactions. Otherwise getTransaction returns null for older transactions.
