Query Stellar Blockchain Trades With Couchbase Capella [Video]

Previously, we shared a post on how to monitor Stellar assets using Couchbase. In this follow-up, we’ll demonstrate how to load recent Stellar blockchain transactions (e.g., trades) into our Capella DBaaS, making them easily accessible for use in sample applications. With Capella’s built-in web management UI, you can run test queries, explore documents, and perform various other tasks to interact with the blockchain data seamlessly.

What are Stellar trades?

Stellar is a decentralized blockchain platform designed for fast, secure, and low-cost transactions. For developers and database backend engineers, Stellar offers a unique opportunity to build financial applications that can handle cross-border payments, micropayments, and tokenized assets at scale. What sets Stellar apart is its consensus algorithm, the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), which provides a more energy-efficient alternative to traditional proof-of-work blockchains. This allows developers to integrate blockchain functionality without compromising on speed or scalability.

Stellar’s API and SDKs support a wide range of programming languages, making it easier to build, connect, and manage blockchain-backed applications …
