EOSIO™ History Tools: Scaling Access to Blockchain History Data
Block.One recently released introduced a new alpha support for a new and more robust blockchain history tool based on RocksDB instead of postgresql. RocksDB is an embeddable persistent key-value store for fast storage and it is optimized for fast, low latency storage.
In their latest article, Block.One provided an overview of blockchain history solutions on EOSIO and a simplified architecture diagram explaining tools available for application developers.
Topics covered:
- The History of State History Tools on EOSIO
- A Scalable Solution: The State History Plugin
- Decoupling Nodeos from Access to State History
- History Tools Integrating with the State History Plugin
