Hyperledger Fabric
Hyperledger Fabric is an open-source enterprise-grade permissioned blockchain framework developed by the Linux Foundation. It is one of the projects under the Hyperledger umbrella, a collaborative effort to advance cross-industry blockchain technologies. Hyperledger Fabric is designed to be modular and customizable, providing a foundation for developing distributed ledger applications for business use.
This competency area includes an understanding of the concepts of blockchain fundamentals, dashboards, alerts, programming languages, network security, distributed systems, database management, development tools, and cloud platforms.
Key Competencies:
- Blockchain Fundamentals - Knowledge of core blockchain concepts like distributed ledger technology, consensus algorithms, smart contracts, and chaincode.
- Programming Languages - Proficiency in GoLang, JavaScript (Node.js), or Java depending on your chosen development environment.
- Network Security - Knowledge of encryption, cryptography, and network security principles for building secure blockchain applications.
- Distributed Systems - Understanding distributed system concepts like consensus, fault tolerance, and scalability is essential for designing and implementing efficient Fabric networks.
- Database Management - Familiarity with databases like CouchDB or LevelDB used for storing blockchain data within Fabric.
- Development Tools - Knowledge of tools like Hyperledger Composer, Hyperledger Burrow, and Hyperledger Sawtooth can provide additional capabilities and frameworks for Fabric development.
- Cloud Platforms - Understanding cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform is increasingly relevant for deploying and managing Fabric networks.
