Hyperledger Fabric is an enterprise-grade permissioned distributed ledger framework written in Go for building blockchain solutions and applications. Its modular architecture offers pluggable consensus, confidentiality, and scalability features suited to a broad range of industry use cases.

Use cases

• build a permissioned blockchain network for enterprise
• develop smart contracts (chaincode) for a distributed ledger
• deploy a private blockchain with confidential transactions
• integrate blockchain applications via a Java SDK
• run a distributed ledger with pluggable consensus at scale
• prototype blockchain solutions with fabric-samples

When to choose

• you need a permissioned ledger with fine-grained privacy and confidentiality controls
• you require enterprise-grade scalability with modular, pluggable components
• you want an actively maintained, LTS-supported open-source blockchain framework
• your use case involves multiple organizations transacting without a trusted central party

When to avoid

• you need a public, permissionless blockchain with cryptocurrency incentives
• you want a simple ledger without the operational complexity of distributed consensus
• your team cannot manage the infrastructure overhead of ordering services, peers, and certificate authorities
• you need lightweight or embedded blockchain functionality
