Abstract

    

Hyperledger Fabric is a leading permissioned
blockchain platform known for its flexibility and customization.
A crucial yet often overlooked component is its state database,
which records the current state of blockchain applications. While
the platform currently supports LevelDB and CouchDB, this
study argues that there is an unmet need for exploring alternative
databases to enhance performance and scalability. We evaluate
RocksDB, Boltdb, and BadgerDB under various workloads,
focusing on memory and CPU utilization. Our findings reveal
that each alternative outperforms the existing options: RocksDB
excels in throughput and latency, Boltdb minimizes CPU usage,
and BadgerDB is most memory-efficient. This research not only
provides a roadmap for integrating new state databases into
Hyperledger Fabric but also offers critical insights for those
aiming to optimize enterprise blockchain systems. The study
underscores the significant gains in scalability and performance
that can be achieved by reconsidering the choice of state database.
