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.

Inventory asset management

Blockchain technology is considered to be a game-changer for building an immutable, decentralized, trustless, and peer-to-peer ledger for business logic. Records in the blockchain are linked using cryptography. Each block contains a block timestamp, transaction data, and the previous block's cryptographic hash information.

IT asset management is an important part of an organization's strategy. It usually involves incorporating detailed IT assets and inventory information for business practices, such as hardware purchases and redistribution. Typical business practices include the request and approval process, procurement management, life cycle management, and so on.

Today, there are many participants in an asset's life cycle—from the manufacturer, the transporter, the IT service department, all the way to the end user—with...
