Hyperledger Fabric Deep Dive For Architects and Engineers

Explore the history of blockchain from the Byzantine Generals Problem to distributed ledgers, tracing Bitcoin’s 2008 white paper, proof-of-work origins, and the rise of Ethereum and Hyperledger.

Explore blockchain basics by defining a cryptic, graphically secured shared distributed ledger and its immutability across distributed nodes, then examine consensus, Hyperledger, and differences between private and public blockchains.

Explore the six main components of blockchain in Hyperledger Fabric: cryptography, peer-to-peer network, shared digital ledger, consensus algorithm, validity rules, and a virtual machine or container.

Compare permissioned and permissionless blockchains, from public ledgers like Bitcoin to private networks such as Hyperledger Fabric. Discern security, access control, scalability, and privacy.

Explore blockchain consensus concepts, from proof of work to proof of stake and delegated systems, and examine Byzantine fault tolerance and Hyperledger Fabric implementations like Kafka and Solo.

Explore how hashing with sha-256 converts data into fixed-length hashes, where identical inputs produce the same output and small changes drastically alter the hash, while mining links blocks in chain.

Explore how block explorers reveal bitcoin network data, including genesis block details, block hashes, merkle roots, transaction history, fees, pool distribution, and mining tools.

Delve into Hyperledger's modular landscape by examining Fabric, Sawtooth, Burrow, Aurora, and Indy, and explore essential tools like Explorer, Composer, Caliper, Quilt, and Ursa.

Explore what Hyperledger is, its governance, and how the consortium and membership support enterprise blockchain, with a focus on Hyperledger Fabric alongside Sawtooth, Aurora, Indy, and related tools.

Explore the Hyperledger portfolio, detailing infrastructure, frameworks (Indy, Fabric, Sawtooth, Aurora, Borrow), and tools (Quilt, Composer, Explorer, Caliper, Ursa), plus governance and technical guidance from the TSC.

Explore Hyperledger Fabric features, including permissioned identity management, endorsement, scalability with on-demand chaincode and peers, private channels for selective data sharing, plus rich queries and modular consensus options.

Compare enterprise blockchains by industry focus, ledger type, consensus methods, and smart contracts or cryptocurrencies. Hyperledger Fabric targets enterprise needs with legal contracts and jurisdictional readiness.

Explore the modular and enterprise-driven design of Hyperledger Fabric, including configurable consensus, identity management, smart contract, and data store options (leveldb, couchdb), with emphasis on permissioned privacy through channels.

Explore how Hyperledger Fabric handles transactions from client signing to endorsement, including policies and the execute order validate flow with Solo and Kafka as ordering service options.

Learn how to query the ledger via a connected application, register clients with the MSP CA, and use rest api and chaincode across peers to retrieve data.

Explore Hyperledger Fabric TPS and how it compares to Visa, PayPal, Bitcoin, Ripple, and Ethereum, highlighting decentralization, push/pull, and modular configuration.

Demonstrates launching an IBM blockchain service with a starter plan, using a five hundred dollar credit to create peers and channels, install chaincode, and apply endorsement policies while monitoring costs.

Explore IBM Cloud blockchain options, comparing first-generation 1.0 and newer 2.0 platforms, view credits, deploy Hyperledger Fabric, and choose quick vs manual container setups.

Explore how AWS managed blockchain accelerates Hyperledger Fabric deployments, enabling rapid network creation, member management, VPC endpoints, proposals, and cloud formation templates.

Discover how to deploy Hyperledger on AWS by configuring a VPC, security groups, and a single EC2 instance, with open HTTP and HTTPS ports and IAM considerations.

This demo guides deploying Hyperledger Fabric with AWS blockchain templates via CloudFormation, configuring policies and roles, and using the explorer to view genesis and blocks.

Create and manage channels in IBM blockchain as a service, review the default channel, genesis blocks, ACLs, members, and chain code initialization for secure channel setup.

Explore Hyperledger Fabric development for deploying applications, including network setup, model files, transaction functions, and queries. Evaluate front-end integration with JavaScript, REST services security, authentication, multi-user mode, and blockchain identities.

Explore Hyperledger Composer Playground, an online Bluemix-hosted tool to test and learn fabric development, deploy instances, update ACL files, and export configs in a sandbox.

Learn how to use swagger ui to authorize against a hyperledger fabric blockchain api, verify network id and secret, and interact with peers, chaincode, and status responses.

Deploy and run a rest api server to proxy hyperledger fabric chain code, using npm or docker, exposing assets, participants, and transactions via a swagger open api.

Master the composer development lifecycle for Hyperledger Fabric, from installing composer to defining assets and participants, deploying the business network and testing a sample app.

Discover the hyperledger fabric wiki as the hub for updates, roadmaps, and proposals. Access the project dashboard, playbacks, and weekly Thursday working group with a Zoom sign-up.
