Most Blockchain Infrastructure are shifting from AWS.

Blockchain requires a dedicated environment that enforces huge projects to skedaddle from AWS to other Public Cloud services.

Mumbai, Maharashtra Feb 4, 2021 (Issuewire.com)  - Binance, Bitfinex well-known brands in the Blockchain ecosystem. started their blockchain environment from AWS and gradually moved to a dedicated infrastructure for their blockchain platform. Recently, Paolo Ardoino, The CTO of Tier1 exchange Bitfinex has come with a thread on Twitter about the Bitfinex infrastructure. “Till Jan 2018 Bitfinex was using cloud hosting providers (AWS) as the main site for the platform. We soon figured out that it was almost impossible to scale a CEX on cloud. Here is the train of thoughts that we had in the mighty infrastructure team.

Paolo shared the list of problems that they faced due to their deployment on public cloud

1. Order/execution full roundtrip should be ~1ms or lower, should be improved over time (0.1ms target)

2. Mange 10k+ to 100k+ orders/sec

3. Recording to historical data stores all events, available to users via API and UI

4. Handling billions of events per day and recording them it’s one of the main bottlenecks of (crypto) exchanges -> DBMS have to record 100k events per second sustained?

5. On cloud you’re not sure how CPU gets allocated (trading engine is a CPU bound process)

disk throughput can be throttled (GP2, IO1)

6. if you use SSDs on cloud, which model do you have, are you the only writer?, how to get a proper RAID setup?, …

7. how to minimize the number of switches between your instances?

8. unpredictable network behaviors

9. Reliable UDP multicast: AWS seems not to support UDP multicast, while GC does not. 
10. Anyway what’s the expected packet loss?

11. security: spectre attacks, data hosted on 3rd party, …
