Blockchain orchestration and experimentation framework: A case study of KYC
Résumé
Conducting experiments to evaluate blockchain ap-
plications is a challenging task for developers, because there
is a range of configuration parameters that control blockchain
environments. Many public testnets (e.g. Rinkeby Ethereum) can
be used for testing, however, we cannot adjust their parameters
(e.g. Gas limit, Mining difficulty) to further the understanding of
the application in question and of the employed blockchain. This
paper proposes an easy to use orchestration framework over
the Grid’5000 platform. Grid’5000 is a highly reconfigurable
and controllable large-scale testbed. We developed a tool that
facilitates nodes reservation, deployment and blockchain config-
uration over the Grid’5000 platform. In addition, our tool can
fine-tune blockchain and network parameters before and between
experiments. The proposed framework offers insights for private
and consortium blockchain developers to identify performance
bottlenecks and to assess the behavior of their applications in
different circumstances.
