Web3 Development using Hyperledger Fabric Framework

Hyperledger Fabric is a leading blockchain platform for enterprises looking to develop secure and scalable blockchain applications. This book guides you through building, deploying, and managing robust decentralized solutions from understanding Hyperledger Fabric architecture to developing and deploying chaincodes.

This book covers the complete journey from Hyperledger Fabric architecture explanations to the development and deployment of chaincodes. It starts with the history of ledgers and blockchain basics, then explains the Hyperledger Fabric’s architecture and key components like assets, ledgers, and consensus. You will gain a deep understanding of the transaction flow within Fabric before diving into practical, hands-on experience deploying your first chaincode and leveraging the GoLedger CC-Tools library for efficient development. Explore advanced topics such as managing assets and data, creating custom transaction logic, interacting with chaincode APIs, and implementing private data collections for secure information sharing. Finally, the book culminates in guiding you through the intricacies of setting up production-grade Fabric networks on the cloud using orchestrators like GoFabric, while also providing a glimpse into the broader societal impact of Web3.

By the end of this book, you will possess a thorough understanding of Hyperledger Fabric chaincodes, from initial development and testing to confident deployment and management in cloud production environments. This book is your go-to guide for building secure, scalable, and efficient apps on one of the industry's leading platforms.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
● Trace ledger evolution to Fabric's architecture, transaction flow, and chaincode deployment.
● Grasp Fabric components (peers, orderers, MSP), deploy chaincode with CC-Tools.
● Master Fabric transaction lifecycle, private data usage, and API interaction.
● Develop/Manage assets, custom transactions using CC-Tools, and production deployment.
● Understand Fabric's permissioned model, deploy chaincode, and manage production networks.
● Explore Fabric's architecture, deploy/upgrade chaincode, and utilize CC-Tools effectively.
● Learn Fabric's core concepts, transaction flow, and production deployment strategies.
