Google Cloud Blockchain Node Engine Arrives! Here's How It Can Benefit Ethereum Projects

The new Google Cloud Blockchain Node Engine finally arrives. This new cloud-based node engine service is expected to benefit Ethereum projects.

The search engine giant said that since it is committed to assisting Web3 developers to deploy new blockchain products, it decided to launch the so-called Cloud Blockchain Node Engine.

"We look forward to supporting organizations with a reliable, easy-to-use blockchain node hosting service," said Google via its official blog post.

The company explained that the new Cloud Blockchain Node Engine will allow Web3 developers to focus on innovating and scaling their Web3 applications.

Google Cloud Blockchain Node Engine Arrives!

According to Coin Desk's latest report, the new Google Cloud Blockchain Node Engine is a fully-managed node-hosting platform.

It is designed to minimize the need for node operations. With this new node engine, Google will be the one responsible for monitoring node activity.

The tech firm is also the one restarting these node operations during outages. But, the Cloud Blockchain Node Engine is limited to Ethereum nodes.

This means that it can only accommodate Ethereum-based projects.

Thanks to Google's innovation, Web3 developers can have fully-managed Ethereum nodes with secure blockchain access.

As of writing, Google hasn't announced if it will support other cryptocurrency projects.

How Web3 Developers Can Benefit From It?

Google explained that the new Cloud Blockchain Node Engine can benefit lots of Web3 organizations and individual developers.

Among the benefits, it can offer are the following:

• Customers can have security configurations that can help prevent unauthorized access to the nodes. The Cloud Blockchain Node Engine will put nodes behind a Virtual Private Cloud firewall.
• The new Cloud Blockchain Node Engine can reduce the time needed to sync a full node from the first block. This process usually takes days. But, with Google's new software, this will be reduced drastically.
• Google's Cloud Blockchain Node Engine ensures that the needed blockchain infrastructure is always ready and available. This means that an on-hand, DevOps team is no longer needed to handle your nodes.
