Access and Query are now generally available for Amazon Managed Blockchain

Today, AWS announces the general availability of Amazon Managed Blockchain (AMB) Access and AMB Query. These two services help developers seamlessly interact with public blockchains so they can build scalable applications quickly and securely.

AMB Access provides a new serverless offering for non-mining, full blockchain nodes. Developers can instantly call standard remote procedure calls (RPCs) to interact with digital assets and distributed applications built on multiple blockchains, starting with Bitcoin, without specialized blockchain infrastructure. AMB Access for Bitcoin complements AMB’s existing dedicated offering for Ethereum. AMB Query delivers standardized and formatted blockchain data from multiple blockchains, starting with Bitcoin and Ethereum. Applications can consume this data quickly without customers having to perform complex data transformations or paying expensive storage costs.

AMB is a fully managed service that reduces the overhead required to access public blockchain networks (Bitcoin and Ethereum) as well as create and manage private Hyperledger Fabric networks. Developers can use the straightforward APIs from AMB to build centralized or distributed applications for digital assets and analyze blockchain data and activities.

AMB Access is generally available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Europe (Ireland), and Europe (London). AMB Query is generally available in US East (N.Virginia).
