Space and Time and Microsoft announce that developers can now deploy the Space and Time data warehouse directly from the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, an online store that offers applications and services for use on Azure. The one-click implementation provides customers with an accelerated on-ramp to easily access, manage and perform analytics on blockchain-native data.

As a leader in intelligent computing and AI, Microsoft is committed to supporting its customers and partners with their business needs, including Web3 scenarios and use cases. In September 2022, Microsoft’s venture capital fund, M12, led a funding round for Space and Time. The one-click deployment of Space and Time on the Azure Marketplace provides developers with a trustless intermediary to quickly and easily integrate large amounts of enterprise data into smart contracts, as well as new use cases for indexed blockchain data.

“At Microsoft, we are strengthening growth across emerging markets – including blockchain and distributed data. Together, Microsoft Azure and Space and Time will give developers the tools they need to build the next generation of blockchain use cases,” said Kathleen Mitford, CVP of Global Industry Marketing.

The integration allows businesses to leverage the benefits of a decentralized data warehouse without re-architecting their existing infrastructure, enabling businesses to build on the blockchain without sacrificing computing power or security. The comprehensive Microsoft Azure cloud services and industry-leading identity and security capabilities provide a reliable set of services and tools for developing Web3 applications in this new era of ubiquitous computing.

Space and Time, a leader in Web3 data warehousing, combines real-time data indexed from large blockchains with off-chain customer-supplied datasets. The Space and Time hybrid transactional and analytical (HTAP) data warehouse comes preloaded with real-time indexed blockchain data, delivered free of charge.

The one-click deployment enables customers to easily integrate the Space and Time data warehouse with their existing enterprise infrastructure. Connecting blockchain data to Azure compute will generate new use cases for base-layer blockchains and developers of decentralized applications.

“The need for verifiable data across blockchains, enterprises and AI has never been more important. We empower enterprises to integrate blockchain data into their applications and business processes, which is critical to both customer growth and enabling responsible data stewards,” says Space and Time CEO and co-founder Nate Holiday “We are excited to expand our partnership with Microsoft to bridge enterprise computing resources with blockchain and AI innovation.”
