Hi,
I'm Nick, the founder .
Glad that you asked . Firstly, Squeezer works on more languages ( JAVA, Javascript , Python ... ) , even if right now we got only the javascript app templates added and the language runtime variation is limited by the Cloud provider resources ( eg: AWS Lambda ) . At the moment the framework works only to build "traditional" web & api apps but if we reach at least our minimum token sale goal we will make the framework "blockchain friendly"
Real-life example scenario :
story : "As a user I want to build an API endpoint that extracts all transactions for a specific ETH wallet address"
I know there are a lot of third party providers that will give tools to access this kind of resource , but personally I think that any blockchain data can/should be processed on the same client's site ( VPC, LAN ... )
In order to get all transactions for a specific wallet you need to parse all blocks and this mechanism differs from a blockchain type to another .
What we want to do differently is to create "agnostic connectors " integrated on Squeezer Framework . Accomplishing this you can extract data, transactions from any blockchain type ( BTC , ETH, ... ) with the same methods , and the returned chunk will be a normalized JSON and
no requirements to install the blockchain node on local machine and download the entire blockchain data which most of the time painfull.
We will provide the tools to provide you the right local development environment and make the implementation available on cloud only by triggering "sqz deploy" , things that we already accomplished with the current implementation on the standard projects .
I had the chance to work a few months for a large blockchain consultancy company and I saw this gaps , and we lost a lot of precious time scraping blocks or unstable APIs from third party providers just to get a list of transactions from blockchain . So why you should bother to customize mechanisms to parse blockchain data when you can focus more on the app/business logic ?
Cheers !
