Flare Launches Blockchain Machine Images on Google Cloud Marketplace, Transforming the Blockchain and Web3 Ecosystems

With intentions for even more network compatibility in the future, this service lets developers install entire nodes across over 20 networks, including notable names like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Blockchain infrastructure company Flare has announced the launch of its Blockchain Machine Images on Google Cloud Marketplace. This service enables developers to rapidly deploy entire nodes across over 20 networks, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, with plans to add more in the future.

The aim of this project is to streamline blockchain infrastructure deployment, making it scalable, reliable and easily accessible for developers who want to start running blockchain nodes without the need for large, complex installations.

Introducing Flare’s Blockchain Machine Images on @GoogleCloud Marketplace — enabling rapid deployment of full nodes across 20+ networks, including Bitcoin & Ethereum, with plans to add more in the future.

Efficient, Cost-Effective Node Deployment for Developers and Enterprises

Through the Blockchain Machine Images, developers can set up and sync full nodes in just a few minutes, eliminating the need for the usual infrastructure maintenance requirements. This fast deployment capability is especially useful for developers who need reliable and high-performance nodes for their projects.

Unlike traditional methods that require significant time and technical expertise, Flare’s solution is designed to allow users to focus on building applications rather than running the underlying infrastructure. This setup opens the way for more efficiency and productivity in blockchain development, especially in the context of decentralized application (dApp) development.

Another key advantage of this solution is that it is cost-effective. Compared to the standard rates offered by other node-as-a-service providers, Flare has set its pricing significantly lower. For example, running a dedicated Flare node costs around $300 per month, while some providers charge upwards of $2,000 per month for a similar service.

Affordable and Versatile Blockchain Solutions for Businesses of All Scales

Priced to appeal to both small-time developers and large enterprises exploring blockchain technologies, Flare’s Blockchain Machine Images could serve as an entry point for broader blockchain adoption.

By keeping the costs minimal, Flare provides a logical approach for enterprises to venture into blockchain applications without the financial burden typically associated with these technologies.

Furthermore, since this service integrates seamlessly with Google Cloud, it offers great versatility for business applications. By leveraging Google’s cloud infrastructure, businesses can avoid the expenses and technical demands of maintaining internal systems, ultimately providing a convenient and robust foundation from which to either initiate blockchain development or integrate blockchain data into their existing systems.

As businesses increasingly seek to leverage blockchain capabilities, Flare’s Blockchain Machine Images could play a pivotal role in facilitating easier blockchain adoption across multiple industries.
