Introduction
============
This section provides an introduction to blockchain that will allow you to
quickly determine whether it might be useful for you or your business. It also
explains the characteristics of the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain and suggests
some ways to increase your knowledge and understanding.
Hyperledger Fabric is a platform for distributed ledger solutions underpinned
by a modular architecture delivering high degrees of confidentiality,
resiliency, flexibility and scalability. It is designed to support pluggable
implementations of different components and accommodate the complexity and
intricacies that exist across the economic ecosystem.

Fabric delivers a uniquely elastic and extensible architecture, distinguishing
it from alternative blockchain solutions. Planning for the future of enterprise
blockchain requires building on top of a fully vetted, open-source architecture;
Hyperledger Fabric is your starting point.

We recommended first-time users begin by going through the rest of the
introduction below in order to gain familiarity with how blockchains work
and with the specific features and components of Fabric.

Once comfortable -- or if you're already familiar with blockchain and
Hyperledger Fabric -- go to :doc:`getting_started` and from there explore the
demos, technical specifications, APIs, etc.
