Project and Lab Services - Hyperledger - Hyperledger Foundation

Hyperledger provides a number of paid developer tools and services for projects.  Below, we list all of the ones that our projects currently use.  We have divided them up by tiers, which indicate the level of support (and the timeframe of support) that projects can expect from the HLF staff.  We emphasize that just because a tool or service is not on this list does not mean projects cannot use it; it just means that they will have to (mostly) support it themselves.

...

We are supporting the projects that are currently using the tools but not rolling these out to new tools because there are better alternatives now.  Please don't start using these!

  • MacStadium
    • Current Situation: We have one M1 mac, used primarily by Solang and Besu Native.
    • Recommendation: If you absolutely need it, please run it on your own hardware.
  • JIRA
    • Current Situation: Almost no current projects use Jira.
    • Recommendation: Use Github issues.  We can offer help exporting Jira issues and importing them.
  • Azure
    • Current Situation: Fabric still uses Azure, although in a very limited way.  
    • Recommendation: Use Github actions (GHA); GHA is on the path to obtaining feature parity with AZP and when this happens AZP will no longer be supported.

...

  • CircleCI
    • Recommendation:  Use GHA instead.  It is easier to manage and, in the vast majority of cases we have come across, substantially cheaper (yes Besu maintainers, we have seen your math!).
  • MacStadium
    • Current Situation: We have one M1 mac, used primarily by Solang and Besu Native.
    • Recommendation: If you absolutely need it, please run it on your own hardware.
  • ZenHub
    • Recommendation: We recommend using GitHub projects instead.
    • Current Situation: This is a free tool some projects choose to use but we don't offer support for it.  You should feel free to use it if you like, but the staff will unfortunately not have the bandwidth to help with any issues.
