Frequently Asked Questions
There's no single "best" provider; the optimal choice depends on your specific needs. AWS offers mature services and a large ecosystem. Azure has strong enterprise integrations and consortium blockchain tools. Google Cloud (GCP) excels in Kubernetes and data analytics. We are partners with all three and will help you choose the right platform based on your protocol, performance requirements, budget, and existing tech stack.
Yes, when configured correctly. Major cloud providers invest billions in physical and network security, far more than most companies can afford for an on-premise setup. Our role is to implement a robust security architecture on top of that foundation. We use a "defense in depth" strategy, including network isolation (VPCs), strict access controls (IAM), encryption of data at rest and in transit, and continuous security monitoring to create an enterprise-grade secure environment.
We automate this process as much as possible to ensure stability and security. We use "blue-green" or "canary" deployment strategies. This means we spin up a new, updated node, test it, and then gradually shift traffic to it before decommissioning the old one. This approach ensures zero downtime during updates and allows for an immediate rollback if any issues are detected.
We offer flexible engagement models. For a full deployment, we typically follow our 6-step process, starting with a 1-2 week discovery and architecture phase. The full build-out using IaC can take 4-8 weeks, depending on complexity. We also offer staff augmentation where our expert DevOps engineers integrate directly with your team, or ongoing managed services where we take full responsibility for monitoring and maintaining your infrastructure post-launch.
Costs vary widely based on the blockchain protocol, number of nodes, transaction volume, and required performance. However, our primary goal is to optimize your TCO. By leveraging automation, containerization, and FinOps best practices, we often reduce our clients' infrastructure spend by 30-50% compared to a self-managed or poorly configured setup. We provide a detailed cost projection during the architecture phase so you have full transparency before we build anything.
