Since its inception, blockchain technology has exploded in terms of products, projects, and use cases, and has managed to attract millions of users. However, the industry is fragmented and seems to have lost focus on the problem it is trying to solve.
In 2021, Amazon banned Parler social news media, most of which have since ended the site. If this is just the beginning, Apple and Google Search have already removed his app from the app Store. It makes me think that every social platform has deleted a few controversial people in the same minute. This is a clear indication that they are on the same page and that these people have the power to shut down everyone, even the president of the United States.
Almost all applications in the blockchain technology ecosystem run on what is essentially not a blockchain technology store. While blockchain technology has several points of connection, when we interact with Pancakeswap, for example, Amazon AWSAWS is hosted within the website (the page and the controls behind it). , interact with blockchain technology on software such as Cloudflare or Google Cloud -- which will most likely be hosted on Amazon. In addition, some projects must be stored and API outside of blockchain technology in order to function properly. Prophecy machines like Chainlink rely entirely on API applications hosted on a centralized platform. So I'm not talking about a project like Arweave, which drives its user Twitter account to be linked to many other apps with Google authentication or username/login password accounts.
Now, can you imagine if Bitcoin and DeFi rely on Amazon infrastructure to build economic development reform? Today, people are one step away from shutting down many projects, but the moment government authorities ban platforms, businesses hosting blockchain nodes or pages will have to shut it down. That's where Flux stands.
They claim that Flux is a new generation of scalable blockchain technology cloud infrastructure. You only need to develop, design, manage, and form your application on multiple servers at once.
If you are hosting your application on Flux, most people will be the connection point of some connection point or many connections around the world - to the level of computing and FluxStaking requirements - and it is basically impossible to shut down a service item.

FluxOS -- the key to manipulating each node in NodeJS -- is built in, making it easier to find developers. This website facilitates numbering and speeds up product development. NodeJS is the main downside to the possibilities here, it's a high end architecture, abstract things like process management and memory usage. It can cause performance degradation compared to languages such as Rust. This worries me in the long run as it is competing with the Amazon high performance server market, but for now looks like a good choice and they can focus on their own features in the near future, especially as I particularly like NodeJS.
How do I host applications on Flux?
FluxOS is ready to operate the Docker application. -- Docker is an open source system project for automatic deployment of applications as the most popular service platform for cloud or locally run lifecycle and self-reliant utensils. Almost all IT companies use it globally. In addition, the process of deploying some new code was entirely manual, depending on the developers on the Flux team. Yes, it sucks, but she is working on a piece of software in order to automate the technology, so I hear she is exploring carefully to create a good customer experience. I think this is particularly important for the success of the product.

StackOS and Akash are the projects closest to Flux. This still needs further analysis, but I now find that it means:
StackOS is not an open source system that selects the automatic deployment operating interface that can organize join points (which they claim will change).
Akash is an open source code. With this aspect of R&D themed activities, there is an extensive and detailed bidding system, routes and maps cluttered. Financial services customers cannot automatically deploy UIs.
In addition, Nunet has just published its own development design on a similar platform.
The test of the future
Points to consider:
Deployed User Experience - On February 19, 2022, the COO again mentioned how to make deployment as easy as AWS. -
Extensibility - Only docker cannot extend enterprise management software. Flux needs to support several Dockers using the same or editing architecture design of Kubernetes.
result
Flux is a project that has been in development and design for many years. Although they still have some work to do, they have a solid foundation to work on. I've been following them for months now, so I can see that the elite team is serious and that they really care about the long term and not the price of money. The Flux team also has Zelcore, a wallet that provides web design. I think that's a good advantage. The development team fits into discord and is very active on GitHub.
In short, when we realize what this article describes, or when a government department bans a very important application, everyone rushes to explore the infrastructure of blockchain technology. Flux and other web3 projects have a lot of potential to grow, but their use value has been overlooked compared to ICP, Helium, Arweave, compared to other projects such as BTT, this type of project is in the top 50 of mktpcap, but not as effective as web3 infrastructure building.
