It is designed to support pluggable implementations 7 of different components, and accommodate the complexity and intricacies that exist 8 across the economic ecosystem. 9 10 Hyperledger Fabric delivers a uniquely elastic and extensible architecture, 11 distinguishing it from alternative blockchain solutions. Planning for the 12 future of enterprise blockchain requires building on top of a fully-vetted, 13 open source architecture; Hyperledger Fabric is your starting point. 14 15 It's recommended for first-time users to begin by going through the 16 :doc:`getting_started` section in order to gain familiarity with the Fabric 17 components and the basic transaction flow. Once comfortable, continue 18 exploring the library for demos, technical specifications, APIs, etc. 19 20 Before diving in, watch how Fabric is `Building a Blockchain for Business 21 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKa5Gh9whgU>`__ . 22 23 24 25 ..
