Blockchain.com: Streamlining Infrastructure with Google Cloud Spanner

Blockchain.com, a leading cryptocurrency software company, was facing significant challenges in managing its large databases. The company's primary products, Blockchain Wallet and Blockchain Explorer, required complex calculations on hard-to-access data across vast databases. As the popularity of cryptocurrencies grew and the company expanded to cover other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Stellar Lumens, securely maintaining these databases became a major undertaking with significant resource overheads. The company was spending a lot of time and resources on maintaining and managing its infrastructure, which was affecting its ability to focus on domain-specific challenges and deliver a peerless user experience across all products.
