On Wednesday, June 8, Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) Cloud, China’s biggest cloud service provider, announced the launch of NFT solutions to help developers build NFT marketplaces in a fast and reliable way.
The Alibaba Cloud NFT Solutions
Alibaba Cloud launched its NFT solutions to enable artists and creators to monetize their NFT projects with ease. Alibaba’s NFT solutions come with three different products.
The first product, the Alibaba Cloud Elastic (NYSE:ESTC) Compute Service (ECS) and Auto Scaling, was launched to help developers and creators build NFT marketplace web servers with ease and high elasticity.
The next is a Digital Marketing Service which integrates SMS to help creators build efficient marketing channels to reach customers. Alibaba’s SMS selects the best route in real-time when users send promotional, notification, and verification messages to customers worldwide.
The third is a Global Delivery Service – Alibaba Cloud Content Delivery Network (CDN) and Server Load Balancer (SLB). This is a high performance NFT delivery service on Alibaba Cloud nodes, which supports up to 100,000 queries per second.
On The Flipside
