Google Cloud is thrilled to announce a Blockchain Node Engine (BNE), which will help Web3 developers build and deploy new products on blockchain-based platforms.
With the help of BNE’s node-hosting service, web3 businesses will be able to deploy smart contracts, relay transactions, and read or write blockchain data on Google Cloud.
Blockchain Node Engine will initially support Ethereum. Hence eth developers will be able to set up fully managed Ethereum nodes with secure blockchain access.
Google Cloud asserts that the Blockchain Node Engine is a fully managed node-hosting service that can reduce the need for node operations, in contrast to self-managed nodes, which are frequently challenging to deploy and necessitate ongoing management. Developers can choose the desired region and network (mainnet or testnet) and deploy a new node with a single operation.
Additionally, the Blockchain Node Engine offers security configurations that can help prevent unauthorized access to the nodes. Only trusted users and machines are able to communicate with client endpoints as BNE places nodes behind a Virtual Private Cloud firewall.
The Blockchain Node Engine is a fully managed service, which can mean developers don’t have to worry about availability. Google Cloud actively monitors the nodes and restarts them during outages as needed.
By reducing the need for a dedicated DevOps team and by offering Google Cloud’s service level agreement (SLA), Blockchain Node Engine will help Web3 businesses focus on users instead of infrastructure.
