Cloud Business Cases Involving Blockchain Technologies

Cloud Business Cases Involving Blockchain Technologies

Working in blockchain projects not only means working in the blockchain technology itself. Any initiative involving blockchain technology needs to take care of the mobile, front end and back-office systems, as well as the cloud environments. ZirconTech also helps companies in all these aspects by providing an integrated and seamless service. As a custom software development company ZirconTech builds custom software solutions, mobile apps, CRM integrations, operating systems & more.

ZirconTech has leveraged its cloud computing and scalable systems capabilities in several blockchain projects.

Digital commodity trading platform with an integrated supply chain solution

ZirconTech delved into the agribusiness sector helping a company that evolved piloting trading platforms and completed trades with Thailand, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Cambodia, Switzerland and England, bringing the transparency needed to the supply chain process. This greater level of transparency allows insurance partners to better assess, control risk and to give users access to first-class insurance coverage.

ZirconTech was involved in this blockchain platform that automates and simplifies the complexity of some commodities trading, increasing security, transparency, efficiency, traceability and trust with verifiable, immutable data. Implemented with Hyperledger Fabric blockchain technology, it helped to create an enterprise-standard, automated platform for removal of friction in the commodities supply chain, lowering risk and cost for traders, insurers, shippers and other stakeholders.

From the cloud perspective, ZirconTech engineers worked in visionary cloud management using the most recently available services. We worked in a proof of concept with Amazon AWS blockchain services: Amazon Managed Blockchain and KMS (Key Management Service).

There were involved infrastructures from different companies: each company provided its own services and they had to communicate with trust. Microsoft Azure platforms had to be migrated to AWS. The goal was to create a flexible platform and enable new participants to add new servers quickly and easily.

AWS stack in this project included Elastic Beanstalk, EC2, S3 and Cloudwatch. Additionally, we used Docker and Kubernetes to scale up nodes.

ZirconTech partnered with a company in Los Angeles (California) to help the commodity exchange based in Zug (Switzerland) and Singapore.

Digital platform for taking donations and sharing information with donors

ZirconTech has been working in a US based bitcoin platform offering unprecedented transparency in the donation process, giving donors the ability to transfer, track, and provide a permanent record of the route of global financial transactions from inception to endpoint.

The platform works in AWS and has interesting functionalities connecting with the blockchains, with a DevOps management in the orchestration process of production releases using several tools and continuous integration. It works in AWS based in EC2 (Elastic Compute), with autoscaling, Nginx and a Jenkins continuous integration pipeline. It also uses other AWS services such as S3 (Simple Storage Service), Cloudfront, RDS (Relational Database Service), Elasticache and VPC (Virtual Private Cloud).

CRM platform for artists

ZirconTech team is working in a mobile application for artists which is used as CRM and to build a website to share their work and social networks. 0The backend is built with AWS services, Elastic Beanstalk, EC2, CodePipeline, CodeBuild, S3, DynamoDB and VPC (Virtual Private Cloud). Terraform is used to orchestrate the architecture.

Continuous integration is also used in this project.
