Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing object-oriented infrastructure-as-code platform ('OOIACP') and its functionalities. In various embodiments, when a request to process one or more lifecycle events is received, a computing system may perform: selecting and scaling across a plurality of OOIACP instances; and causing the selected plurality of OOIACP instances to process the one or more lifecycle events. In some cases, each OOIACP instance may include an infrastructure-as-code (“IAC”) command line that instantiates component infrastructure among a plurality of component infrastructure to process at least one lifecycle event among the one or more lifecycle events concurrently and independently of other OOIACP instances. In some instances, the first plurality of OOIACP instances may be located within an environment in which the plurality of component infrastructure is located.

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing off-chain functionality for data contained in blocks of blockchain. In various embodiments, a computing system might assemble data extracted from each block of a first block(s) of a first instance of a blockchain in a generated first file(s), the assembled data being organized to mirror how the data is organized and stored in the first block(s); might store, in a secure database, the first file(s), the first file(s) being configured to be content-searchable, content-sortable, and/or content-filterable; might generate a second instance of the blockchain, which contains one or more second blocks, the one or more second blocks each containing the hash value of each corresponding first block(s), without containing the data contained in each block of the first block(s); and might store, in a distributed peer data storage system of the blockchain system, the generated second instance of the blockchain.

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing Internet of Things ('IoT')-based microwell solution for irrigation. In various embodiments, in response to receiving, from the plurality of sensors, first sensor data indicative of environmental conditions within an area, a computing system may analyze the first sensor data to determine parameters associated with water requirements within the area, may generate a water distribution plan based at least in part on the determined parameters, and may map the generated water distribution plan to a positional map of a plurality of microwells disposed at pre-installed locations within the area. The computing system may generate and send instructions to the microwells to pump water from an underground water source(s) (in some cases, surface water sources as well) and to irrigate plants or crops in the area using integrated irrigation systems, based on the mapping. The microwells and sensors may utilize IoT functionalities.

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing object-oriented infrastructure-as-code platform ('OOIACP') and its functionalities. In various embodiments, an OOIACP may receive a request to perform a function from a requesting device. The OOIACP includes a declarative configuration language (“DCL”)-based infrastructure-as-code (“IAC”) software tool that provides structure and data functionalities and a wrapper tool that provides algorithm and sequence functionalities to the IAC software tool to convert the IAC software tool into an object-oriented programming (“OOP”)-based IAC system. The OOIACP uses a run command to perform the requested function, by identifying classes within a class hierarchy associated with the requested function, and initiating a set of procedures in each identified class. Each class and subclass within the class hierarchy has one or more predefined class behaviors, and each subclass inherits class behaviors of classes to which it belongs and of any intermediate subclasses.
