Overview of this book

Blockchain and Hyperledger are open source technologies that power the development of decentralized applications. This Learning Path is your helpful reference for exploring and building blockchain networks using Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, and Hyperledger Composer. Blockchain Development with Hyperledger will start off by giving you an overview of blockchain and demonstrating how you can set up an Ethereum development environment for developing, packaging, building, and testing campaign-decentralized applications. You'll then explore the de facto language Solidity, which you can use to develop decentralized applications in Ethereum. Following this, you'll be able to configure Hyperledger Fabric and use it to build private blockchain networks and applications that connect to them. Toward the later chapters, you'll learn how to design and launch a network, and even implement smart contracts in chain code. By the end of this Learning Path, you'll be able to build and deploy your own decentralized applications by addressing the key pain points encountered in the blockchain life cycle. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Blockchain Quick Start Guide by Xun (Brian) Wu and Weimin Sun • Hands-On Blockchain with Hyperledger by Nitin Gaur et al.

Integration with existing systems and processes


When discussing end-to-end solutions with customers, we often explain that blockchain-related components represent a very small percentage of the overall footprint. This is still a very important set of components, but nonetheless they represent a small footprint.

This section will focus on the touch point between our traditional systems and the Hyperledger Fabric and Composer API.

We will explore the various patterns of integration we have leveraged and see how some of the non-functional requirements can influence the integration deployment. Finally, we will explore some additional considerations that integrators will need to keep in mind when designing their integration layer.

In short, in this section, you will:

  • Understand the design consideration of the integration layer
  • Review the integration design patterns
  • Explore the impact of non-functional requirements on the integration

Design considerations

By now, you have experience with Fabric SDK and...
