Developing in Corda **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alex S. | Blockchain Architect, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 15, 2020 **What do you like best about Corda?** - JVM based, I use existing JMX tools for monitoring, e.g (Prometheus, Graphana) - All the storage is a relational SQL (Oracle, SQL server, Postrge). Persistence based on ORM (hibernate). Database migrations supported via simple XML files. This is very friendly for Java developers. - The certificate authority (Doorman) is based on spring boot, very easy to customize for your cert issuance requirements (e.g HSM) Quick development kick start, unit testing, good documentation, lots of examples **What do you dislike about Corda?** - requires JVM 1.8, so it does not work with newer java nor with openjdk - Corda is a peer to peer network, so when you are implementing message broadcasting use case (one to all) you have to be creative **Recommendations to others considering Corda:** easy to use, integration with existing software, devops **What problems is Corda solving and how is that benefiting you?** Mostly I own you (IOU) type of contracts, digital assets, identity, and document tamper protection problems. I wrote an app in the past allowing you to select a blockchain platform based on your need. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/enterprise-blockchain-platform-selection-assistant-alex-shpurov/ ### 2.

Good framework with nice documentation **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Abhishek J. | Application development Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 07, 2020 **What do you like best about Corda?** Corda is an easy to implement Blockchain Framework with great community support and documentation. **What do you dislike about Corda?** It could be complex to apply sometimes since the developer have to manage a lot of configurations, Also it's not easy to find developers who know Corda well. **What problems is Corda solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's useful to apply blockchain concepts effectively, It provides the end to end implementations with scalability and confidentiality between two parties ### 5. Unique, enterprise suitable DLT framework **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pranav K. | Blockchain Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 01, 2020 **What do you like best about Corda?** - p2p messaging instead of global broadcast - built on well established techs like kotlin java - supports wide range of databases like postgres and oracle - great community in slack and other channels - well formed documentation wrt functionalities , database migrations, production environment settings and configuration. - Lots of templates and other community apps which helps in developing new things rapidly - Frequent updates with interesting add-ons like tokens and accounts. **What do you dislike about Corda?** - Not that easy to understand and get into the core of it. - Documentation for specific topics could be more clear like os db migration and doorman or network map implementations. - Not having community or channel broadcast options in flows. - More information like example usecases with source code ,wrt topics like oracles and accounts and tokens . - A archive of faq, which are asked in slack and stackoverflow. - Would be great for beginners if more focus is corda networks too instead of focusing more on cordapp and config cause they will find it difficult on how to implement it in real world as a network (private corda network, cordite, nms ) **Recommendations to others considering Corda:** Explore it as it has the potential to satisfy current DLT requirements in the most convienient way. Even though the learning curve is kind of difficult, a Good community with ok documentations will help. **What problems is Corda solving and how is that benefiting you?** Many projects where multiple parties are involved and want to have trust and control over their data. Ranging from supply chain to governments along with other enterprise use-cases where many entities are involved. ### 6. Nice approach to block chain and smart contracts for big banks. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michael Christian B. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 23, 2020 **What do you like best about Corda?** It was a nice dive into new technology for us. The use of kotlin and corda enable us to implement the first steps into smart contracts that were the necessity for a further step into the direction of implementing a blockchain solution. **What do you dislike about Corda?** Not much to dislike, but the need for running several nodes into our development machines was a problem for our 4 cores, 8GB development notebooks. So put in mind that you will need adequate machines to your development team. **Recommendations to others considering Corda:** Take the technology and the official courses to easy the adoption of technology. The Corda documentation was nicely tied with Kotlin but it has java classes as well. Be sure that you have in place a DevOps solution that supports the technology as the necessary resource of people and hardware to adequately support the teaching and real use of what is blockchain. From my experience, the directors want to have a blockchain but they do not comprehend what the technology is. **What problems is Corda solving and how is that benefiting you?** Having a framework to develop blockchain solutions is a very good start. The solution aligned with the adoption of Corda R3 and kotlin made the pilot a lot smoother than our previous experience with another technology. For the projects itself, as we had only the vision of a task, it was difficult to say the impacts in the roadmap and/or production improvements, but surely the quality improved. ### 7. One of the most adaptable DLT's in 2020 **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Amol P. | Module Lead, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 12, 2020 **What do you like best about Corda?** - Corda has something that is rarely seen in most Blockchain communities - An extremely developer friendly community, helpful and active. - A wonderful testing suite that allows you to write and test CorDapps in a few minutes. - Privacy model is extremely flexible and well thought out: Easy to switch between point-to-point messaging and broadcast - New & useful features coming out all the time, they listen closely to the community - High transaction throughput - Long term vision - Introduces fault tolerance and robutness - Brings strong immutable properties to use-case **What do you dislike about Corda?** - Use cases where a global broadcast is required is not a natural fit, and can be slow since transactions are sent linearly one after the other - UTXO model can make you design some use-cases to fit the solution than answer the problem **What problems is Corda solving and how is that benefiting you?** - Faster reconciliation - Data Integrity - Natively secure using crypto - Adds trust between non-trusting parties, reduces dependency on intermediaries ### 8. Corda Review and recommendations **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Piyush S. | Senior Consultant, Financial Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2020 **What do you like best about Corda?** Corda is extremely Java-oriented. It will be really attractive for people who like Java and not for people who don't like Java. You can develop these application with Java or Kotlin also. Smart contracts makes the data highly filtered and validated. Private networks - gives the benefit of immutable chained data but only visible to those who need to see it. **What do you dislike about Corda?** 1. Very limited number of IDE's support R3 Corda development. 2. Understanding of concepts is difficult from the official documentation. 3. Very lesser support/help/guidance is available on internet as this platform is not famous that much yet. Clean, deploy and run u have to do this everytime you change something.. its really really frustrating at times. There are still some issues with notarisation of large amounts of data combined with large amount of nodes. Multiple notaries are a solution however it means each transaction needs to change the notary of each of the states to be consistent which increases the processing time. I believe this is currently being worked on so I expect a solution soon. **Recommendations to others considering Corda:** Personally, I welcome the move because the point behind this kind of open collaboration is that the wider community gets access to an even more extensive range of ideas, thinking and talent, which will ultimately lead towards a better knowledge and understanding of blockchain solution adoption. **What problems is Corda solving and how is that benefiting you?** All users have their own node and all have their own physical copy of data (ledger). This makes your data very secured and private. With corda we can build essence of block chain security without compromising privacy. Detailed documentation and getting started was easy, and lots of flexibility on programming the transaction flow and state evolution of the DLT. ### 9. Must Tryed one of the Private Blockchain Technologie **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** VISHNU T. | Blockchain Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 10, 2020 **What do you like best about Corda?** Corda prevents any unnecessary sharing of data on the blockchain as only people with legitimate need and access have access to a network, and mostly Corda’s design comes with regulatory and supervisory observer nodes. Corda can hit a high throughput if the network is thoughtfully architected and your CorDapps are well designed **What do you dislike about Corda?** it is not a modular design like Hyperledger fabric.it mostly focuses on the financial service application .so the Corda use case is limited. **Recommendations to others considering Corda:** if you are a blockchain developer. you must try these beautiful technologies. it is a private blockchain and it is best suited for the finance sector. **What problems is Corda solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am building an insurance app with Corda Technologie.the main benefits are Consensus is achieved’ at the level of individuals transacting, rather than the entire system at large.Corda’s design comes with regulatory and supervisory observer nodes ### 10.

The intent of corda team is commendable. The platform consists of a bunch of complex technologies such as application server features , databases and a workflow manager. **What do you dislike about Corda?** It's a bit heavyweight like some legacy JAVA EE application servers with huge turnaround times. **Recommendations to others considering Corda:** Corda is here to grow , it's just a matter of time . I have personally interacted with the founding members of the team and they are the best . **What problems is Corda solving and how is that benefiting you?** Worked on multiple supply chain POCs for various clients and they keep coming back for the implementation on corda. Worked on the automated spinning up of corda network using various devops tools. ### 11. Highly prefered blockchain platform for Fintech decentralized projects **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sahil V. | Software Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 21, 2019 **What do you like best about Corda?** The pattern on which this platform is designed is amazing.

Smart contracts makes the data highly filtered and validated. **What do you dislike about Corda?** 1. Very limited number of IDE's support R3 Corda development. 2. Understanding of concepts is difficult from the official documentation. 3. Very lesser support/help/guidance is available on internet as this platform is not famous that much yet. **Recommendations to others considering Corda:** First study about blockchain. Then learn difference between traditional blockchain and decentralized apps. Read the official documentation carefully, start implementing it. Countracts should be made carefully. Accounts can be made to save infrastructure cost. Write tests parallel to when you write states to avoid future issues. **What problems is Corda solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am building decentralized application with R3 Corda. The benifit is that data is more secured and private than the traditional blockchain platforms. ### 12.
