Overview of this book

Hyperledger is an open-source project and creates private blockchain applications for a range of domains. This book will be your desk reference as you explore common and not-so-common challenges faced while building blockchain networks using Hyperledger services. We'll work through all Hyperledger platform modules to understand their services and features and build end-to-end blockchain applications using various frameworks and tools supported by Hyperledger. This book's independent, recipe-based approach (packed with real-world examples) will familiarize you with the blockchain development cycle. From modeling a business network to integrating with various tools, you will cover it all. We'll cover common and not-so-common challenges faced in the blockchain life cycle. Later, we'll delve into how we can interact with the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain, covering all the principles you need to master, such as chaincode, smart contracts, and much more. We'll also address the scalability and security issues currently faced in blockchain development. By the end of this book, you will be able to implement each recipe to plan, design, and create a full-fledged, private, decentralized application to meet organizational needs.

Hyperledger performance measurement

In a blockchain system, we are expecting to get its optimum performance. The goal of any performance evaluation is to cover system-wide measures' transaction throughput or latency, as well as the overall OS, network- and blockchain-level IO, and its availability.

A benchmark should be relevant and understandable. It is the process of making standard measurements to run a test plan based on a set of criteria, conditions, or a program by which the performance is evaluated. The results of the analysis should be easily understandable, and both users and vendors must be satisfied that the results of the analysis are unbiased.

One of the Hyperledger projects develops a blockchain benchmark tool for blockchain-performance benchmarking. This tool is Hyperledger Caliper. It integrates with multiple existing enterprise blockchains and allows the...
