New partnership brings blockchain developer tools to Google Cloud

New York-based blockchain startup Digital Asset has teamed up with Google Cloud to bring its blockchain solutions and developer tools to the cloud platform.

With this partnership, developers would be able to access a comprehensive suite of tools and services to build, test and deploy distributed ledger applications on-demand and without having to configure the underlying platform.

In March, Bloomberg had reported that Google was working on blockchain-related technology to support its cloud business.

“We’re partnering with Google Cloud to provide developers with a full stack solution so they can unleash the potential for web-paced innovation in blockchain,” said Blythe Masters, CEO of Digital Asset. “This will reduce the technical barriers to DLT application development by delivering our advanced distributed ledger platform and modelling language to Google Cloud.”

Earlier in April, Digital Asset announced a developer program for its enterprise smart contract language, called the Digital Asset Modeling Language (DAML). It describes DAML as “a uniquely powerful, intuitive smart contract language specifically designed for use in distributed ledger applications that align financial business processes between organizations.”

Google Cloud is joining the private beta of the developer program, giving Solution Architects across Google access to the DAML SDK (Software Development Kit) Developer Preview to explore blockchain applications with their clients.

Furthermore, Digital Asset, in collaboration with Google Cloud, has expanded the developer program to include the DAML Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) on Google Cloud Platform. The DAML PaaS is a fully-managed solution that developers can use to test and deploy DLT applications, accessible through Google Cloud’s Orbitera application marketplace technologies. Together with the DAML SDK, this will offer developers an end-to-end toolkit to build and deploy sophisticated distributed applications.

“We are delighted to innovate with Digital Asset in the distributed ledger space,” said Leonard Law, Head of Financial Services Platform at Google Cloud. “DLT has great potential to benefit customers not just in the financial services industry, but across many industries, and we’re excited to bring these developer tools to Google Cloud.”
