Project Plan - Client Connector for Hyperledger Besu

Abstract

Develop a connector that provides both synchronous and asynchronous modes of interacting with a running Hyperledger Besu node. The connector would act as an interface between an enterprise application and the Hyperledger Besu node for data ingestions and it could provide event subscription options.

The scope of the project would also include an end-to-end test on a sample network.

Milestones

1. Learning Objectives (6th Oct to 14th Oct 2022)  
   1. How does Besu Works? Expectation - A document that captures the difference between DB-based transaction vs blockchain transaction. 
   2. SpringBoots understanding. Expectation - Develop and execute a HelloWorld SpringBoots application.
   3. Git. Expectation - Understand the process to commit, code reviews, and raise a PR. 
2. App Configurations
   1. Network abstraction (input of a running Besu network)
   2. Key handling/Wallet integration
   3. App configuration read
   4. Connector abstraction (input of Kafka/ASB etc)
   5. Dynamic update of beans
