A Sneak Peek into the FEATURES of widely used Blockchain frameworks

Sneak Peek into the FEATURES of various commonly known Blockchain frameworks:

Blockchain Frameworks do vary based on distinct needs, i.e., please choose the right framework from very many Blockchain technology options based on whether you need

• a Centralized ledger database {such as Etherum (Public)/ AWS QLDB (Private)},
• or a Multi-party {Channel Management for multiple stakeholder Scenario - such as Hyperledger Fabric},
• or a Fully managed blockchain network that helps eliminate intermediaries {such as, AWS Managed Blockchain on HLF}

However, The commonality amongst All of the types of available frameworks

• DAPP: Blockchain is a DAPPs (Decentralized Applications).
• Data Provenance: Blockchain comes baked in with Data Provenance by offering immutable and cryptographically verifiable record of transactions
• each offers an immutable and cryptographically verifiable record of transactions
• each one is also available in DOCKER (containers)

BlockchainOPS

BlockchainOps:

• Full Scale Operationalization Paradigm for Blockchain
• It's application of DevOps in Blockchain lifecycle management.

One can use Kubernetes (CaaS) & Containerization (Docker) to seamlessly manage and govern by orchasterating

• any containerized Blockchain network lifecycle with
  • the High availability,
  • Auto Scalability,
  • Self healing

• any kind of Blockchain workloads
  • Smart Contracts,
  • Member registry,
  • et al

When to use Which Framework

Q. What Blockchain technology/framework should I choose on depending upon varying needs, such as

• public or private Network,
• Permissioned Network or permissionless Network,
• Centralized ledger,
• Multi-party et al? ANS: Blcokchain Frameworks do vary based on distinct needs. Here goes a quick look into the right framework from very many Blockchain technology options based on varying needs-
• a Centralized ledger database {such as Etherum (Public)/ AWS QLDB (Private)},
• or a Multi-party {Channel Management for multiple stakeholder Scenario - such as Hyperledger Fabric},
• or a Fully managed blockchain network that helps eliminate intermediaries {such as, AWS Managed Blockchian on HLF/EThrum}

Q. When to use Hyperledger Fabric & When to use Etherum? ANS: Hyperledger Fabric is well-suited for applications that require stringent privacy and permission controls with a known set of members.

• for example, a financial application where certain trade-related data is only shared with select banks

Whereas, Ethereum is well-suited for highly distributed blockchain networks where transparency of data for all members is important,

• for example, a customer loyalty blockchain network that allows any retailer in the network to independently verify a user's activity across all members to redeem benefits.
• Ethereum can also be used for joining a public Ethereum blockchain network.
