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 Blockchain Ecosystem

This chapter mainly targets those who are relatively new to distributed ledger technology and permissioned blockchains. The primary goal is to explore Hyperledger blockchain concepts, to equip you with the necessary knowledge and important technical design methodology of the Hyperledger ecosystem, and then learn when to apply these technologies through real-world use cases. The materials included in this chapter will help you better understand later chapters, and will make it easier for you to complete the recipes included in this cookbook.

A good analogy would be the making of a delicious dish. A chef would first need to know what ingredients and seasonings they should use, then prepare them before they can actually start creating the recipe.

For those who already have a good understanding of how the Hyperledger ecosystem works, this chapter would...
