When Hyperledger Sawtooth Met Kubernetes – Simplifying Enterprise Blockchain Adoption

When Hyperledger Sawtooth Met Kubernetes – Simplifying Enterprise Blockchain Adoption

Blockchain Technology Partners has teamed up with Digital Asset to deliver DAML Smart Contracts for Hyperledger Sawtooth deployed and managed on Kubernetes using its blockchain management platform Sextant.

One of the great things about being a member of the Linux Foundation is that you are part of a vibrant global community that is home to open source projects in a wide range of ecosystems and host to an impressive array of events worldwide.

  • A global community where you are actively encouraged to participate in meetups and events specific to your ecosystem as well as contribute to broader open source summits
  • A global community where there is the opportunity to collaborate not just within your own ecosystem but with ecosystems that complement yours – this is at the heart of the open source ethos

A case in point is Blockchain Technology Partners (BTP) which, like a number of our Hyperledger members, is also an active participant in the CNCF, aka Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Its founding team recognized early on that the only way to make blockchain technology more accessible and easier to adopt was to address the operational challenges that they could see lying in wait for enterprises. With their team’s  background in open source, operations and cloud, BTP quickly realised that CNCF’s Kubernetes was the perfect match for Hyperledger Sawtooth. This led to the creation of Sextant, their blockchain management platform that radically simplifies the development, deployment and ongoing management of blockchain-based enterprise applications.

The power of open source collaboration doesn’t end there as BTP have now teamed up with Digital Asset to bring DAML Smart Contracts to Hyperledger Sawtooth – integrating their open source DAML runtime with Sawtooth, similar to the way the Sawtooth Ethereum (SETH) project integrates the Burrow EVM with Sawtooth, and handling its deployment and management with Sextant.

For the full story behind the creation of Sextant to deploy and manage Hyperledger Sawtooth on Kubernetes and BTP’s collaboration with Digital Asset to bring DAML to Sawtooth, read our case study.
