Hyperledger Fabric：是否可以在不使区块链饱和的情况下保存数百万个位置寄存器？

Question

The title practically says everything.

In a near future I'm going to implement a real-time tracking system using possibly, a blockchain, and for certain reasons Hyperledger Fabric seems to be the chosen technology. After the information is recorded, it should be accessible in a map in a web application.

So the question is: If we save every one or two minutes the location of a truck to the blockchain using gps, it will hurt the general performance of the blockchain in a near future? (milions and milions of registers)

In the end I have to decide if I should save this information in the blockchain or, knowing that it would cause some serious issues, leave that information out of it and use an hybrid system with a classic database for that and a blockchain for other functionalities that won't cause performance issues.

Thanks.

Answer 1

There is no storage limitation on the Fabric Ledger other than the disk space. The current value of a key (say, the latest position of the truck)can be read via Fabric query which are saved in the world state for quick retrieval. There is also mechanism to look up the history of a key quickly via the historyDB that Fabric maintains.
