Konstantin Richter at Blockdaemon moderated this panel at Heavybit, and I sat with Brian Behlendorf (Executive Director, Hyperledger), Jed McCaleb (co-founder, Stellar), and Jake Craige (Lead Developer, Coinbase). I brought the developer-tools-investor lens to the conversation: how does this perform in production, how do you monitor it, what does the surrounding tooling need to mature.

We covered the real tradeoffs of decentralization, node management, metrics and monitoring requirements, standardization of distributed systems, and the regulatory picture. The questions I kept returning to were practical ones for the developers building on blockchain infrastructure, the same operational and reliability concerns I had been applying since Amazon and through the DevOps movement.
