Alibaba Cloud announced that it will be launching the Blockchain Node Service in the first quarter of 2023.
The new Platform as a service (PaaS) aims to aid developers by reducing operational and maintenance time while they are building and deploying new products.
Leveraging Alibaba Cloud’s 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 will be able to concentrate on product development and thus speed up the pace of the product roll-out process.
Initially 100 users will be recruited in an open beta test for the launch of the Node Service, while a series of Web 3.0 Hackathon Campaigns will be held in Singapore, Japan, Thailand and Hong Kong early next year.
“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.”
said Raymond Xiao, Head of International Industry Solutions and Architect, Alibaba Cloud Intelligence.
“Alibaba Cloud’s strong infrastructure across APAC and global leading security and compliance capabilities put us in a strong position to support the growth of the Web 3.0 ecosystem.
We are committed to better serving customers to help explore new business opportunities, while supporting consumers to ensure a more user-friendly and immersive experience.”
said Dr Derek Wang, General Manager of Singapore, South Asia and Thailand, Alibaba Cloud Intelligence.
