Digital technology Alibaba Cloud launched a roadmap to establish its first Blockchain Node Service. Scheduled for the first quarter of 2023, the Blockchain Node Service will support the growth of the evolving Web3.0 ecosystem and better serve developers with Alibaba Cloud’s scalable, efficient and secure infrastructure for a more user-friendly and immersive experience.

Alibaba Cloud is the intelligence backbone of Alibaba Group.

The new PaaS platform aims to aid developers by reducing operational and maintenance time while building and deploying new products. Leveraging Alibaba Cloud’s scalable, high-performance and stable infrastructure, the node-hosting service actively monitors the nodes and automatically switches in case of an outage. As it doesn’t require hands-on monitoring or problem mitigation, developers are free to concentrate on product development and thus speed up the pace of the product roll-out process.

With Alibaba Cloud’s world-class security and global compliance capabilities, the Blockchain Node Service is backed with security configurations that can help prevent unauthorized access to the nodes. The nodes are placed behind the cloud firewall, and only verified users and machines can communicate with client endpoints. Moreover, Alibaba Cloud security solutions can further protect nodes from DDoS attacks.

“Driven by enterprises’ increasing demand for simplifying the complex inter-silo dependencies, we can see the popularity of nodes has grown significantly in recent years in Asia,” said Raymond Xiao, Head of International Industry Solutions and Architect, Alibaba Cloud Intelligence.

“On top of its flexibility and efficiency, Alibaba Cloud’s stable and reliable enterprise-class node service backed with comprehensive security features offers developers an extra layer of confidence as they navigate seamlessly across different frameworks,” he added.
