EOSIO™ History Tools: Scaling Access to Blockchain History Data

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
  • RocksDB Alpha in History Tools

*"Currently, RocksDB outperforms LMDB and PostgreSQL databases by considerable margins for both partial and full blockchain history on EOSIO blockchains. RocksDB also stores the full history much more efficiently than PostgreSQL." *
