Covers six key problems with the test network (certificate expiry, hardcoded passwords, no persistent storage, no auto-restart, no backups, and inability to add users dynamically), then walks through every file needed for production: environment-based configuration, Fabric CA setup replacing cryptogen, a consolidated docker-compose with named volumes and restart policies, configtx.yaml changes for single-org production use, certificate registration/enrollment scripts, Go REST API Dockerization, backup scripts, and a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline for automated deployments on git push. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
