What is it?
Cakeshop is a set of tools and APIs for working with Ethereum-like ledgers, packaged as a Java web application archive (WAR) that gets you up and running in under 60 seconds.
Cakeshop can either start up a geth node, which you can then interact with using the Cakeshop front-end, or it can be connected to an Ethereum-like node, such as Quorum, that you already have running. A given Cakeshop instance connects with one node on the blockchain network you connect to.
Out of the box you get:
- Node Management - Fully functioning Ethereum node (via geth), setting up a cluster
- Blockchain Explorer - view transactions, blocks and contracts, and see historical contract state at a point in time
- Admin Console - start & stop nodes, create a cluster and view the overall status of your network
- Peer Management - easily discover, add and remove peers
- Solidity Sandbox - develop, compile, deploy and interact with Solidity smart contracts
It provides tools for managing a local blockchain node, setting up clusters, exploring the state of the chain, and working with contracts.
The Cakeshop package includes the tessera and constellation transaction managers, a Solidity compiler, and all dependencies. Cakeshop will download the latest version of quorum and bootnode from geth (to use a different version, see here)
