Sharedcloud

Selected for the “Google Cloud for Startups Program”

We live in an age where computing power has become ubiquitous. Nowadays, most people have computers with a power that they don’t even grasp on a daily basis.

At the same time, many applications are composed by containerized micro-services that interact with each other in a very defined way. This combination is a perfect match in our eyes, and we believe it’s the ideal time to start using that wasted computing power so users can make some profit.

Simplecoin

Simplecoin is a “simple” (just 2 main files), yet quite “feature-complete” blockchain implementation in Python that tries to replicate other mainstream digital-coins for “learning purposes”. Some of its main features are:

• Multi-node network resistant to outages of certain nodes.
• Persistent blockchain and node’s state (one file per node)
• Functional “Proof of Work” implementation with dynamic difficulty.
• Intelligent “concensus” between nodes to detect and replace “corrupted/tampered blockchains”.
• Integrity check of account’s balance before processing a transaction.

Technologies: Python3

Battle For Castile

Battle for Castile is a multi-player fantasy card game based on a fictional universe set on the kingdom of Castile (Spain) during the 13th century.

It’s built on a micro-services infrastructure, fully scalable, and deployed on Kubernetes. Micro-services are connected using a “producer-consumer” approach by using Queues, which makes them highly resilient to sporadic peaks on the number of users playing.

Players use a CLI tool to play the cards, construct the combos, and fight each other. This CLI will be in charge of communicating with the infrastructure and display the updates to the interface.
