Deploy an Ethereum node on Amazon Managed Blockchain

Amazon Managed Blockchain support for managed Ethereum nodes makes it possible to build your own decentralized applications (dapps) without having to worry about maintaining reliable Ethereum nodes for relaying blockchain transactions or querying the state of blockchain data. The decentralized architecture of the Ethereum network makes it possible to create unstoppable applications that can be […]

Integrate Amazon Managed Blockchain identities with Amazon Cognito

When you authenticate with a web or mobile application, you typically do so with a username and password where you’re authenticated against a user database such as Amazon Cognito. You’re expected to secure your password and rotate it periodically or when it has been compromised. When you’re building a user-facing application that is running on […]

Automating Hyperledger Fabric chaincode deployment on Amazon Managed Blockchain using AWS CodePipeline

Amazon Managed Blockchain is a fully managed service that makes it easy to create and manage blockchain networks using the open-source blockchain framework Hyperledger Fabric. In this post, we explore how to use AWS CodePipeline and related services to automate the deployment of chaincode. Chaincode is a program that typically handles business logic agreed to […]

Keeping data private with private data collections on Amazon Managed Blockchain

With the Amazon Managed Blockchain release of Hyperledger Fabric (HLF) version 1.4 support, the private data collections feature is also officially supported. Before HLF 1.2, the channels feature was the primary way to control data privacy amongst a set of members. But channels have significant limitations: Ordering service nodes still have a copy of all […]

Performing analytics on Amazon Managed Blockchain

Managed Blockchain follows an event-driven architecture. We can open up a wide range of analytic approaches by streaming events to Amazon Kinesis. For instance, we could analyze events in near-real time with Kinesis Data Analytics, perform petabyte scale data warehousing with Amazon RedShift, or use the Hadoop ecosystem with Amazon EMR. This allows us to use the right approach for every blockchain analytics use case.
In this post, we show you one approach that uses Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to capture, monitor, and aggregate events into a dataset, and analyze it with Amazon Athena using standard SQL.
